Your career after BE in Marine Engineering

Marine engineering is all about research done in oceans and inland waters connected to the sea. It also encompasses construction and maintenance of ships, along with various other sailing vessels. To make a career in Marine Engineering, one can choose from BE Naval Architecture, BE Marine Engineering and BE Ocean Engineering.

Naval Architects are responsible to look after basic ship design; this includes power requirements to structure and the entire stability of the ship.

Ocean Engineering includes comprehensive study of the ocean environment. Under this, a student learns about effects of wear and tear due to corrosion and the bearing ocean would have on ships and other marine vehicles and structures. Ocean engineers also design and operate stationary ocean platforms, manned or remote-operated sub-surface vehicles for deep sea exploration.

Marine Engineers are the members of the ship's crew and also in charge of managing a team of marine technicians and craftspeople. Job of a Marine Engineer rests completely on the ship's technical management. They select the ship's machinery, such as diesel engines, steam and gas turbines and chalk out the design of electrical, fluid, mechanical, and control systems throughout the vessel.

Eligibility

Students willing to take admissions in the four year B.E. in Marine Engineering program, must have done 10+2 with Chemistry, Physics, Mathematics and English.

Career Prospects

A BE in Marine Engineering can certainly assure you excellent job opportunities off shore. The remuneration is highly attractive and also fetches an NRI status. The best part about making a career in marine engineering is that it assures 100% placement.

These days, marine engineers are also involved in big researches on renewable energy and underwater vehicle. If you want to pursue research work, you may want to go for a two-year M.E. in Marine Engineering program after graduation and can even proceed for Ph.D program after that.
