Marine EngineerMarine Engineering involves the design, construction, installation, operation and support of the systems and equipment which propel and control marine vehicles. Marine Engineering on board a ship refers to the operation and maintenance of the propulsion and other systems such as electrical power generation plant, lighting, air conditioning, refrigeration and water systems on board the vessel. It also includes other areas such as autonomous underwater vehicle research and marine renewable energy research.
Marine engineers take complete charge of the engine room of a ship and the functioning of various devices like electric motors, steam engines and propulsive engines. They also develop newer designs for the engines of sailing vessels and check the efficiency of existing equipments like gas or stem turbines, diesel or nuclear propulsion plants.
