海洋工程
本科学位
The 海洋工程 (MENG) program prepares graduates for careers as licensed engineering officers in the 美国 Merchant Marine as well as engineering positions in associated shoreside industries.
Cadets gain a firm grasp of mechanical and electrical engineering systems through classroom and experiential learning. This includes approximately 50 days of practical shipboard training each year, typically during the annual sea term aboard the Training Ship (T.S.) Kennedy or on a commercial merchant ship assignment.
Four sea terms are required and cadets must pass examinations conducted by the 美国 Coast Guard in order to qualify as a third assistant engineer, 蒸汽, 电动机, 燃气轮机, 无限的马力. Licensure is dependent upon successful completion of Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) requirements.
海洋工程 Career Paths
The 海洋工程 (MENG) program prepares graduates for careers as licensed engineering officers in the 美国 Merchant Marine and for engineering positions in associated shoreside industries. Many graduates later go on to become senior management executives throughout industry.
Possible positions for a 海洋工程 major include:
- Chief Engineer on a merchant ship
- Port Engineer for an marine related company
- Executive management for major corporations
- Field service engineers throughout industry
实践学习
Anybody can watch someone else perform a task. It’s a rare person that can successfully perform many different tasks competently by using their own two hands in doing so.
学习成果
The overarching goal of the MENG program is to produce a competent and conscientious 海洋工程 Officer in accordance with the Standards for Training and Certification of Watchstanders (STCW) and 美国 Coast Guard (USCG) regulations.
At the end of the MENG Program, graduates should be able to:
- 应用 general education knowledge to appreciate the impact of engineering solutions on society as a whole.
- 应用 mathematics, science and engineering knowledge to solve engineering problems.
- Gather, analyze and interpret engineering data.
- Communicate effectively in English using written, oral and graphic formats.
- Function effectively as a member of a multidisciplinary team.
- Satisfactorily meet all STCW Competencies (listed separately) required to be licensed as a 海洋工程 Officer on board a ship in accordance with USCG regulations.
- 申请, 接受检查, and receive a Merchant Marine Officer License issued by the USCG for a Third Assistant Engineer of Steam, Motor and Gas Turbine vessels any horsepower.
美国.S. Maritime Administration requires that all senior MENG students complete all their academic program requirements and earn their USCG license for a Third Assistant Engineer of Steam, Motor and Gas Turbine vessels any horsepower prior to receiving their MENG degree.
Certifications Available through the Degree
The objective is to earn a USCG Third Assistant Engineering License for 无限的马力 Steam, Diesel or Gas Turbine power propulsion systems (that’s three licenses) that are very difficult to obtain and demonstrate the breadth of knowledge amassed.
The examinations are administered by the 美国 Coast Guard with the ultimate goal of preparing students to eventually reach the level of Chief Engineer.
海词
The MENG program includes approximately 50 days of practical shipboard training each year to satisfy STCW requirements for sea service. Shipboard training typically takes place during the annual sea term. Students gain practical experience either aboard the USTS Kennedy or aboard commercial merchant ships to experience the maritime industry first-hand. The MENG major requires students to complete four sea terms.
你将学习什么?
The MMA ME program requires 152.5 credits to complete the degree, which surpasses the typical 128 credits required for most engineering schools, which means you learn a whole lot more.
