Engineering Majors
The Engineering Majors provide midshipmen with the education
and training to design, build, operate, maintain and repair
the engineering systems used on modern marine vessels and
to prepare them for positions of increasing responsibility
in the maritime and intermodal transportation industries.
The Engineering Majors also provide midshipmen with a sound,
broad-based engineering education while simultaneously preparing
them for an unrestricted license as a third assistant engineer
of steam and motor vessels. The Academy offers three engineering
majors: Marine Engineering; Marine Engineering Systems;
and Marine Engineering and Shipyard Management.
The synergistic combination of classical engineering studies
and operations-oriented training and experience offers graduates
an unbeatable amalgamation of skills that prepare them for
a broad range of professional occupations. The special nature
of the Academy makes the engineering graduates well suited
for professions in the maritime industry as well as in related
fields such as power generation and intermodal transportation.
Marine Engineering Program
The Marine Engineering program prepares midshipmen to
serve as licensed officers in the U.S. Merchant Marine and
to provide them with an engineering education that prepares
them for a wide variety of professional positions including
the career fields of ship construction, operation, marketing,
maintenance,
repair and survey.
The program focuses on the operational and applied aspects
of the marine engineering profession. It allows midshipmen
the opportunity to choose elective courses in order to tailor
the program of study to meet their individual professional
goals.
Graduates of the Marine Engineering program are exceptionally
well suited for employment at sea as engineering officers,
as well as ashore in the applied phases of the engineering
spectrum such as power generation and technical marketing.
