Gdańsk Tech is intensifying activities for the country's defense
Representatives of the army, science and industry, that is three natural stakeholders in the process of planning the purchase of military equipment, met at Gdańsk University of Technology.
In December 2021, the Center of Maritime Military Technologies of Gdańsk University of Technology and the Polish Armaments Group and PGZ Stocznia Wojenna concluded the so-called confidentiality agreements, which enabled the commencement of talks on the development of technologies for minimizing the physical fields of ships and unmanned underwater vehicles for the Polish Navy.
The same fins on the boards, a different way of sailing. Scientists are studying the problem
Although they look the same, can windsurfing boards, and more precisely their fins, sail completely differently? The answer is: yes. But can it be checked before we buy such a fin? Scientists from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology are working on this issue.
– The Polish Yachting Association approached us with various issues related to the interpenetration of science and sport. One of the topics that interested me the most was the selection of fins for windsurf boards - says MSc. Hanna Pruszko from the Institute of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology.
SeaSentinel - port drone preventing contamination. New SimLE project
Students from the science club SimLE are working on a new project. It is SeaSentinel, a port drone that will monitor the cleanliness of the port basin from the water level, but also prevent any contamination.
The originator of the project is Igor Rusiecki, a first-year student of ocean engineering at the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology. He started working on the drone while still in high school (and got to the final of the Explory competition already at the preliminary stage of work), and now he decided to continue his work at Gdańsk University of Technology with the SimLE team.

Spacecraft Structural Dynamics & Loads
Spacecraft Structural Dynamics & Loads is an introduction to the analysis of loads and space structure vibrations. Dynamic loads that a payload is subject to during the rocket launch will be described together with technical hints for the design of a satellite mechanics and as well as payload testing.
The lecture is open to the community of Gdańsk University of Technology and Hochschule Bremen. It is a part of the initiative ESA_Lab@Gdańsk, a cooperation between European Space Agency and Gdańsk University of Technology. The person responsible for the lecture is Adam Dąbrowski (adadabro@pg.edu.pl) from Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology.
Virtual tour inside a ship thanks to an application
What would it be like if you could immerse yourself in virtual reality and see the hull of a ship from a previously unavailable perspective? MSc. Ewelina Ciba from the Institute of Ocean Engineering and Ship Technology is working on an application that will make it possible.
Ewelina Ciba's project "Virtual Reality (VR) in designing the hull structure, application for Android and IOS systems" was awarded in the first edition of the Educational Innovation Competition at Gdańsk University of Technology.
Mechatronics Section
The Section of Mechatronics performs scientific research in the following fields:
Mechanical Vehicles and Military Techniques Section
Section of Mechanical Vehicles and Military Techniques in its present form has been operating since 2020 and is part of the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Ship Technology, including the Institute of Mechanics and Machine Design. The head of the section is Associate Professor Grzegorz Ronowski. The beginnings of the Section date back to 1945. During 76 years of its research and teaching activities, the team underwent many reorganization.
