Program Description:
The Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering (B.Sc. MrnE) is an interdisciplinary applied degree with learning outcomes closely linked to the labor market. The program provides students with the knowledge, skills and competencies needed for a career in the marine engineering industry. Marine engineering is the operation, maintenance and monitoring of mechanical systems aboard marine vessels, including boats, ships and submarines.
The program prepares graduates to apply knowledge of mathematics to analyze and design marine engineering systems. Graduates apply knowledge of design, development, operation and maintenance of marine propulsion and ocean systems. They also utilize basic concepts of management topics such as economics, business, communications, leadership, engineering economics, engineering management, and cost control in the field of marine engineering. The program also incorporates the application of different engineering fields such as computer science, electrical engineering, electronic engineering, and mechanical engineering.
Marine engineers have the responsibility for some or all major mechanical and engineered systems onboard a vessel. These could include systems related to electricity generation, propulsion, fuel, air conditioning, lighting, water distillation, lubrication, electrical and electronic components, and more.
