Is it easy to find a job in marine electronics and electrical engineering?

The major of marine electronic and electrical engineering is worth choosing. This major is very good. Graduates of this major can work in ship control, ship electrician, ship electronics and electrical engineers, etc. The salary is quite considerable. One of my cousins ??majored in marine electronic and electrical engineering at Dalian Maritime University, and after graduation he worked as a marine electronic and electrical engineer. During the Chinese New Year this year, I also asked him about some information about this major. Let me talk about it in detail.

01——Personal Feelings

My cousin told me that their major in marine electrical and electronic engineering mainly studies the working principles, structure, design and other basic aspects of marine electronic and electrical equipment. Knowledge and skills also involve the fields of electrical technology, electronic technology, control technology, computer control and network technology, which are often used in the shipping industry for offshore operations. For example, we know the inspection of these offshore facilities, the repair and maintenance of ship electronic and electrical equipment such as communicators and navigators, etc.

My cousin told me that the employment rate of their classmates who majored in this major at Dalian Maritime University was 100%, so they didn’t have to worry about finding a job. Also, this major is more suitable for boys to choose, because in the future, they will often face some equipment on the boat and need to run the boat. Girls may not be able to operate it, and it is not that convenient.

When choosing a school to study marine electronic and electrical engineering, my cousin recommended to me their alma mater - Dalian Maritime University. This school belongs to the 211 Schools, and the ship electrical major is a double first-class discipline, so it is a good choice.

02——Major subject

My cousin gave me a detailed description of their courses at that time: circuit principles, analog electronics technology, digital electronics technology, power electronics technology, Communication electronic circuits, automatic control principles, computer network applications, microcomputer principles and applications, PLC programming and engineering applications, sensor principles and applications, electromechanics, AC speed regulation, ship power stations, ship electric drive systems, ship electrical equipment and systems, Ship engine room automatic control system, ship integrated bridge system, ship electronic and electrical technology, etc.

These courses are very professional, but the knowledge is rich but shallow. In many cases, you are unable to do what you really want to do in order to deal with complicated exams, and your daily study pressure will be quite high. However, the degree of recognition after graduation is quite high, and there are many large companies recruiting for the corresponding majors, so if you choose this major, you need to treat it well and study it seriously.

03——Professional Comparison

From what I learned about the marine electronic and electrical engineering major from my cousin, I also compared it with my own major in electrical engineering and automation. Both majors need to learn relevant knowledge of circuits, analog electronics, digital electronics, automatic control, and electrical engineering, because these are the foundations of these two majors. Their difference is reflected in the different focuses of the two majors. Marine electronic and electrical engineering focuses more on ship control and some knowledge of ships, with a preference for weak current control. Electrical engineering focuses on power systems and relay protection, and is more focused on strong electrical control.

04——Employment prospects

My cousin told me that graduates majoring in marine electronics and electrical are equipped with ship power supply and distribution, ship electric propulsion, and electrical system automatic control. Ship electrical equipment installation, commissioning, maintenance and electrical design and on-site construction capabilities in other industries. Mainly engaged in strong and weak current technicians, ship repair and shipbuilding electrical assembly technicians, electrical technicians, constructors, planners, dispatchers, ship electricians, maintenance electricians, overhaul electricians, electrical assemblers, maintenance and commissioning workers and ship electricians, etc. Work.

05 - Summary

Through the above analysis, coupled with professional comparison, in general, the ship electronics and electrical engineering major It's still very good, but you have to adapt to running a boat in your future work, but the benefits of running a boat are quite good. Therefore, students who are interested in ship power can consider this major.
