In 2008 the University of Michigan (UoM), University of Ulsan (UoU) and Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) formed a partnership for the exchange and education of naval architecture and marine engineering students. While the exchange of Koreans to Michigan is still in the works, two UoM groups have made it Ulsan; One last year, and the one that you are following now.
Our trip is four weeks long. For the first three weeks we are touring HHI, and spending our last week taking courses at UoU. Three weeks to tour a shipyard you might ask? Well it is just that huge. HHI is the world’s global leader in shipbuilding, producing more gross tonnage than any other yard. As you follow this blog, we will include as much information about HHI as possible, but please be mindful that we are bound by a non-disclosure agreement for much of what we see.
