Accreditation

The Marine Engineering program is accredited by the , under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.

Academic Program

Marine Engineering courses focus on electrical science, math and the sciences, and teach students to think abstractly. You will learn about the operation and design of power-generating systems aboard ships. Learning in Marine Engineering goes well beyond the classroom. You will spend your time in labs, designing, building and testing ways to generate and deliver power to ships.

Professional Options

Your academic knowledge is tested and supplemented by professional learning experiences. All Marine Engineering students also pursue an Engine License. The license programs require membership in the college's Regiment of Cadets.

Engine License

Graduates of the Engine License program earn a U.S. Coast Guard Third Assistant Engineer's License. The engine program focuses on powering, controlling, and maintaining a ship's engine and energy systems.

Upon successful completion of the Unlimited Engine License Program, graduates will be able to:

  1. Demonstrate competency needed to serve as a third assistant engineer by passing all STCW competencies and the USCG License prior to commencement.
  2. Understand and safely demonstrate particular skills in the analysis and design of marine propulsion, auxiliary and cargo systems and equipment.
  3. Apply these engineering skills to a variety of marine applications.
  4. Demonstrate the ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.
  5. Understand and demonstrate effective and appropriate problem solving and critical thinking required by a ship’s engineering officer.
  6. Demonstrate a basic knowledge of engineering mechanics and thermodynamics in the context of marine vehicles.
  7. Understand and demonstrate effective leadership and teamwork skills needed to serve as a ship’s engineering officer.
  8. Understand and demonstrate effective oral or written communication skills needed to serve as a ship’s engineering officer.

Capstone Design

In Marine Engineering Design II and III, the students were tasked with creating a lab for the 3rd class students to use aboard the TSES VII. The purpose of the lab was to give those students a chance to familiarize themselves with various engine systems in a lab setting. This includes lining up piping from ballast tanks to sea chests, place a duplex strainer in service or bypass mode, demonstrate cooling via jacket water in a flat plate heat exchanger, and operating centrifugal or positive displacement pumps.
