Courses In Marine Engineering Possible Through Marine Engineering And M Tech Colleges In India

Higher studies in a particular stream, is many a times, chosen by people, after they have finished their graduation degrees. Selecting a subject in these higher education colleges is important as it is very much instrumental in deciding about the streams in which one is going to make a career. Rightly done, the selection of subjects can give placements in very lucrative places.

Nowadays, students are picking up such subject quite smartly, allowing themselves to secure jobs in very good places. Of the many subjects, one that has opened up avenues for the aspiring students is that of marine engineering. This is a subject which is not seen or found in any B Tech engineering colleges. As a course, marine engineering deals with the various aspects of aquatic life and use of technology in studying and researching life in the waters.

Opening up of such courses in the engineering colleges in the M Tech stream is something that is being recently seen.

This particular subject has been in the curriculum of a few colleges in the foreign countries. But in India, it is only recently that courses related to sea and marine life have been introduced in the master’s level. Merchant navy has been in vogue since a few decades.

Students were not much interested in such jobs in the earlier days. With lucrative deals and great career prospects, these subjects have come into the limelight in recent years. Not only the pay packet is good, but the people in different jobs in the course are able to move to various locations and are involved in activities that can be rightly called as adventurous. Adding to the enthusiasm of the students is the fact that a number of technology institutes are starting the courses in marine engineering and related M Tech courses.

For general subjects such as mechanical, electrical, automobile engineering etc, there are many seats and many colleges are offering these courses. But few of the M tech colleges in India have started the courses related to marine science in recent years. Apart from the M Tech colleges in India which are offering these courses, there are exclusive marine engineering colleges, in which the induction of students has seen a significant rise in recent years.

Tolani Maritime Institute in Pune, Vel’s Academy of Maritime Education and Training in Chennai, Marine Engineering and Research Institute in Kolkata, Academy of Maritime Education and Training in Chennai, RL Institute of Nautical Science in Madurai, etc are some of the marine engineering colleges in India. Students are taking admission in these institutes in large numbers and having their aspirations in marine related jobs fulfilled.

These institutes which have marine engineering courses are also offering the merchant navy courses as well as there are exclusive merchant navy institutes in India for students who are interested in getting jobs in the merchant navy. Students’ enthusiasm and the facilities by these institutes have increased the number of students getting admissions as well as, have raised the number of seats in these colleges.

Marine Engineering: What is it?

Article by David Van Der Laan

Marine engineering is a niche field of work related to mechanical engineering which includes design, construction, operation and support of all the systems on ships or water based structures. These systems encompass but are not confined to the electrical, electronics, lubrication, water distillation, pneumatic, hydraulic, power generation and many other equipment that is needed to operate and maintain boats and buildings like oil platforms. Marine engineering can be simplified into two broad categories. Marine Engineers based on boats are needed for the operation and maintenance of all the ship’s systems (electrical, power generation, lubrication, etc) while the boat is at sea. These engineers have a strong background in marine engineering as well as an abundance of first hand training via training ships run by maritime organizations or at training centers at trade schools. Land based marine engineers are more focused on the design, selection, installation and maintenance of equipment on ships or sea base structures. They can be charged with inspection, surveying, and repair of the ship when it is docked at port. On shore marine engineers often synergize with naval architects in the design and building of ships as well as help in selection of machines for the ship. A specialization in marine engineering can be entered from several directions. Marine engineers are often mechanical or systems engineers who obtained firsthand experience of marine systems through professional experience. Most beginning marine engineering jobs require at least a bachelor’s degree in one of the few Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering recognized programs in the U.S. Currently there are about 10 post secondary institutions in the U.S., which means that this is one of the smallest engineering fields. There are many directories online that would be useful in doing research about all the programs. One of the ones that are really helpful is http://www.degreedirectory.com
