Marine Engineering :
Marine engineering broadly refers to the engineering of boats, ships, oil rigs and any
other marine vessel or structure. Specifically, marine engineering is the discipline of
applying engineering sciences, mostly mechanical and electrical engineering, to the
development, design, operation and maintenance of watercraft propulsion and on-board
systems; e.g. power and propulsion plants, machinery, piping, automation and control
systems etc. for marine vehicles of any kind like surface ships, submarines etc.
About course
Marine Engineering offers an exciting career for adventurous students and it involves the construction
and maintenance of ships, other sailing vessels, ports and cargo facilities at waterfront. Also known as
Ocean Engineering, it broadly refers to the engineering of boats, ships, oil rigs and any other marine
vessel or structure. Marine engineers are completely responsible for maintaining a ship’s machinery
such as the engine room, electric motors and propulsive engines and other devices to ensure proper
functioning of the ship. Marine engineers apply the engineering sciences like mechanical engineering
and electrical engineering to the development, design, operation and maintenance of watercraft
propulsion and on-board systems; e.g. power and propulsion plants, machinery, piping, automation
and control systems etc. for marine vehicles of any kind like surface ships, submarines etc
