Marine Engineering
Technology
 Marine engineering technologists
apply their knowledge and experience to solving technical problems
related to marine equipment, systems, and vehicles. Graduates may
find employment in many areas of the maritime industry -- at sea and
ashore. They also are employed in non-maritime industries such as
public utilities and manufacturing. Students entering
this major are interested in working at sea with the option of becoming
a shore-based technologist.
 Preparation
Those interested in a
career in marine engineering technology should consider reviewing engineering
technology programs that are
accredited by
ABET, Inc. ABET accreditation is based on an evaluation of an engineering
program's student
achievement, program improvement, faculty, curricular content, facilities, and
institutional commitment. Students explore engineering graphics,
naval architecture, diesel engineering, turbines, plant operations,
fluid mechanics, hydrostatic stability, ship maintenance, solid
mechanics, materials, dynamics and energy systems. They likely will also
spend some time on ships applying their knowledge and training onboard a
vessel. The following is a current list of all universities
offering accredited degree programs in
marine engineering
technology.
