In 2005, Professor Ying Chen, then vice-president of Hangzhou Dianzi University (HDU), established the marine discipline in HDU. Then in 2006, the Institute of Ocean Engineering was established. And in 2012, the Department of Marine Engineering was established.

At present, the Institute has 19 full-time teachers, all of whom are Ph.D., including 8 professors, 1 high-end foreign expert from the Ministry of Science and Technology, 1 Zhejiang Provincial 1000 plan, 4 second-level and 2 third-level in Zhejiang Provincial 151 Talent Program. It has the provincial key scientific and technological innovation team Marine Machinery and Port Equipment Technology and the provincial education department innovation team Marine Mechanical and Electrical Equipment Technology.

It has the Zhejiang Provincial Top Key Discipline Marine Electro-mechanical Equipment Technology , and the Key Discipline of Marine Engineering. The Zhejiang Key Laboratory of Ship Port Machinery and Equipment Technology has been set up. And two Zhejiang Provincial Strategic Alliances of Technological Innovation, namely Ship Power Industry Technology and Ship and Ocean Engineering, have been built with enterprises. There are three Production-Uniiversity-Research bases, namely, Zhoushan Shipbuilding Machinery Industry Base, Shaoxing Port Machinery Industry Base and Hangzhou Optical and Mechanical Industry Base.

In recent years, through continuous efforts to carry out scientific research and social services, the Institute has obtained a series of fruitful results: 1 Second Prize for National Technology Invention Awards , 1 First Prize for Technological Invention Award of the Ministry of Education, 1 First Prize for Science and Technology Award of China's Machinery Industry, 2 First Prize2 Second Prize and 1 Third Prize for Zhejiang Science and Technology Progress Award ;

It undertakes 28 state-level projects such as the 863 National Plan, the Ocean Project of the State Council and the National Natural Science Foundation, and more than 10 provincial and ministerial projects. It authorizes more than 50 invention patents and publishes more than 30 SCI-included papers.

Independent development of deep-sea exploration sampling equipment has become the main equipment for ocean resource exploration in China; the developed deep-sea multi-parameter electrochemical sensors and underwater robots have been successfully applied to Jiaolong and various ocean scientific exploration activities in China, and have made important contributions to deep-sea resource exploration in China.
