Employment direction of marine engineering specialty

After graduation, students majoring in marine engineering can engage in marine engineering operation, maintenance and ship supervision in marine transportation enterprises and institutions. Can be engaged in mechanical engineer, marine engineer, technical engineer, sales engineer, mechanical design engineer and other positions.

Marine engineering mainly studies basic knowledge and skills such as mechanical principles and marine systems. , and carry out engine operation, maintenance, ship supervision, etc. In maritime enterprises and institutions, I often work at sea.

The employment of marine engineering majors is narrow, and graduates are mainly engaged in marine engineering operation, maintenance, shipbuilding supervision and other work in various enterprises and institutions such as shipping. This major is mainly divided into two directions: one is the management of offshore turbines, mainly the usual maintenance and overhaul of ships; The second is shipbuilding, mainly the design of shipbuilding engine room.

Available positions: mechanical engineer, marine engineer, technical engineer, sales engineer, mechanical design engineer, marine engineer, deh project implementation engineer, process engineer, thermal engineer, thermal engineer, steam turbine engineer, thermal engineer.

The origin of marine engineering specialty;

Marine engineering originated in England at the beginning of the19th century, when ships were powered by steam engines. 1873, Suffolk, a British shipowner company, used the internal combustion engine as the main engine for the first time, marking the birth of marine engineering. At the beginning of the 20th century, steam engines and internal combustion engines coexisted, but the advantages of internal combustion engines gradually emerged and became the mainstream of marine engines. After 1950s, with the development of gas turbine and turbocharger technology, the performance and economy of marine main engine have been further improved.

Current situation of ocean engineering;

Ship engineering plays an important role in modern ship design, affecting the performance and economy of ships. At present, there are many kinds of marine engines in the world, including diesel engines, gas turbines and steam turbines.

Among them, diesel engine is the mainstream of marine main engine, occupying more than 90% market share. With the increasing pressure of environmental protection and energy consumption, the technology of marine main engine is constantly innovating and improving, including adopting new fuels such as liquefied natural gas and biodiesel, and adopting new technologies such as electric drive.
