MARINE ENGINEERING

Department of Marine Engineering

Overview

Department of Marine Engineering educates and imparts skills required to operate and manage machineries in modern ships of merchant marine fleet. A career in the Merchant Marine as an Engineer Officer can be a rewarding one both financially and in terms of job satisfaction. For the able young officer, the system provides a smooth and rapid path of career development. The process is likely to take less than eight years from the commencement of cadetship till qualifying with Class 2 Certificate.

Further 3 years may be required to go up in the hierarchy to reach Class I Certificate of Competency (Chief Engineer). A modern day ship is equipped with propulsion plants, power generating plants, cargo gears and many other service equipment along with their associated control systems. The Marine Engineers are responsible for safe operation of all machineries and their periodic maintenances. Most Marine Engineers do not remain at sea throughout their working life. After having gained their Class I Certificate and experience as a senior officer on board, they seek employment ashore. Shore based employers generally have high regard for the seafaring engineer and consequently the transfer from shipboard to land based employment is usually easily achieved.

Vision

The Vision of the Marine Engineering department is to provide quality education and to impart excellent practical training and moulding the aspiring youths to excel as competent Marine Engineer Officers as per STCW Regulation 1995/2010 standard

Mission

Mission of the Marine Engineering Department is to develop a full-fledged Marine engineering campus to provide effective and efficient education for those trainees who are able to compete Merchant Navy, able to handle the Operation and Up-keeping of Marine machineries without polluting marine environment To give opportunity to rural sector people and to work with respect to universal moral values and ethical code of conduct.

Programme Educational Objectives (PEOs)

PEO1. Marine engineering programme aims at imparting strong foundation in mathematics, science and basis engineering, programme curriculum gives a strong support to attain the task
PEO2. Marine engineering programme aims at providing good practical knowledge of marine machineries. The state of the art laboratory “ship in campus” facility help trainees to get real time exposure of the ships atmosphere with the working condition machinery. six month of practical exposure in afloat training in ship-in –campus will make the trainees competent to carry out safety the watch keeping duties of an engineer officer onboard ship
PEO3. To inculcate trainees in professional and ethical attitude, effective communication skills, teamwork skills, multi-disciplinary approach and an ability to relate engineering issues to broader social context and equip them with strong knowledge, competence and soft skills that allows them to contribute to the needs of maritime industry
