Since most of the work in marine engineering is done on the coasts and at sea, the sector is foreign to most of the general public, however, the field has always served a crucial function. The maritime industry is responsible for the transport of goods and people via the water. Marine engineers are responsible for the design and construction of ships, the construction of ports and waterfront cargo facilities, and the operation of ships and support vessels.
Not only do marine engineers design the ships, but they also determine how they operate. "Marine engineers are responsible for selecting ships' machinery, which may include diesel engines, steam turbines, gas turbines or nuclear reactors. marine engineers are also responsible for the design of mechanical, electrical, fluid and control systems throughout the vessel. Bruno feels that students interested in ship design, building and maintenance will see more opportunities in the future as new challenges arise.
Eligibility
Those who have passed the plus Two/equivalent examination or three-year diploma holders in any branch of engineering/equivalent examination are eligible for admission with an eyesight of 6/6 and no color blindness
JobProspects
Students completing this program will be employed in the maritime industry as professional mariners.
The career opportunities available to future marine engineers are exciting; students may work on projects that have a global impact from mobile oilrigs in deep waters to keeping the shore side safe through port security. And the added benefit of a good starting salary and secure job market should make any engineering student think about a career in marine engineering.
