If you are fascinated by ships and the way they are powered and controlled, consider majoring in Marine Engineering. In this program, you will learn to design, operate and maintain marine and industrial power plants.
Accreditation
The Marine Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET, under the commission's General Criteria and Program Criteria for Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering.
Academic Program
Marine Engineering courses focus on electrical science, math and the sciences, and teach students to think abstractly. You will learn about the operation and design of power-generating systems aboard ships. Learning in Marine Engineering goes well beyond the classroom. You will spend your time in labs, designing, building and testing ways to generate and deliver power to ships.

Capstone Design
In Marine Engineering Design II and III, the students were tasked with creating a lab for the 3rd class students to use aboard the TSES VII. The purpose of the lab was to give those students a chance to familiarize themselves with various engine systems in a lab setting. This includes lining up piping from ballast tanks to sea chests, place a duplex strainer in service or bypass mode, demonstrate cooling via jacket water in a flat plate heat exchanger, and operating centrifugal or positive displacement pumps.
