Marine engineers are involved with the design, construction, installation, operation, maintenance and
repair of the main propulsion engines and auxiliary machinery and systems found in all kinds of ships,
boats and offshore installations.
The Marine Engineers ensure that engines and systems work efficiently and develop and deal with new
and emerging technology. They are trained in the efficient operation and maintenance of the propulsion
plant and other machinery systems found in all oceangoing ships. The main responsibilities include:
Maintaining and repairing propulsion, electrical, and auxiliary systems.
Equipment diagnostics and problem solving.
Conducting daily watchkeeping duties
The Marine Engineering is a four-year program. Marine Engineering students are trained in all
mechanical, electrical, and structural aspects of ships; from main engines to auxiliary systems found in
all ocean-going vessels ranging from super tankers to cruise ships, cargo ships, and more.
This program is designed to provide hands-on, theoretical, and technical knowledge in the following
areas:
- Propulsion plant operation and maintenance.
- Electronics and electrical technology.
- Ship construction.
- Fuel systems.
- Engineering science and knowledge.
- Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
- Naval architecture.
- Thermodynamics
