(2) Division of Marine Engineering
The Marine Engineering Major provides students with a sound educational
base for service at sea as engineering officers and ashore in challenging positions. The
Division's chief responsibility is to prepare students for the Korean Licence examination
in engineering and to educate them as well-prepared marine engineers.
A student majoring in Marine Engineering can choose one of four
available tracks to follow, all of which serve as preparation for the third engineer's
licence examination. The Division offers four elective majors - Marine Engineering, Marine
Mechanical Engineering, Marine Electro-mechanical Engineering, and Marine Refrigeration
Engineering. The main thrust of this curriculum is to provide the marine engineering
students with more opportunities to choose, Students in each programme have fewer free
electives, which must be chosen from a prescribed list of courses which satisfy the
criteria of each elective major. Each elective major curriculum begins in the third year.
Marine Engineering graduates can find rewarding employment at sea and
ashore. Career opportunities available to them includes serving as engineers on merchant
ships; in ship construction/repair and design; in equipment design, sales and maintenance;
in hull and boiler surveying; in port operations; in admiralty law; in local and national
government agencies of a regulatory nature; and in research activities.
