Marine Engineer PDF

Marine engineers are responsible for the operation, maintenance, and repair of mechanical and engineered equipment on board ships and watercraft. They enable the building of oil rigs and ships through their engineering expertise. To become a marine engineer, students complete an undergraduate degree in marine engineering including courses in basic engineering, mathematics, and applying concepts to marine structures. This prepares them for careers designing and constructing watercraft. The job outlook for marine engineers is expected to increase as demand grows, with over 3,000 new jobs expected to be filled by 2018. Marine engineers need mechanical skills, problem-solving abilities, and knowledge of topics like math, physics, and safety procedures. Personal qualities like responsibility, adaptability, and remaining calm in emerg
