The Bachelor of Engineering (BE) in Marine Engineering is a specialized program designed to prepare students for careers in the maritime industry, with a focus on the design, operation, and maintenance of ship systems and machinery. The curriculum integrates core engineering principles with specific emphasis on marine propulsion systems, ship structure design, marine materials, and naval architecture. Students gain a deep understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and marine power plants, preparing them for the unique challenges of the marine engineering field.
The program places a strong emphasis on practical training through hands-on experiences, laboratory work, and simulation exercises. Students learn to operate and maintain marine propulsion systems, control systems, and auxiliary machinery. The curriculum also covers safety protocols, environmental considerations, and international regulations governing maritime engineering, ensuring graduates are well-versed in the complexities of the maritime industry.
Interdisciplinary knowledge is fostered through subjects such as naval architecture, marine electronics, and marine dynamics, providing students with a holistic understanding of marine engineering. The program also emphasizes the importance of teamwork, effective communication, and problem-solving skills, preparing graduates for collaborative roles within the maritime sector.
Internship opportunities and sea training experiences are integral components of the program, allowing students to gain hands-on experience aboard ships and in maritime industry settings. Graduates of the BE in Marine Engineering program are well-equipped for careers as marine engineers, naval architects, or in related fields within the shipping and offshore industries. The program aims to produce marine engineers who can contribute to the safe, efficient, and environmentally responsible operation of marine vessels worldwide.
