Graduates of this program, equipped with both federal and
state licenses, play leadership roles in the operation and maintenance
of marine and industrial steam and diesel power plants and related
electrical and refrigeration plants. In addition to courses in
communications, mathematics, science, and the humanities, you’ll
study naval architecture, steam plants, diesel engines, hydraulic
systems, electrical power, automation, computer applications, machine
tool operations, welding, graphics, refrigeration and air
conditioning. Classroom study is closely coordinated with practical
experience aboard ship and in laboratories during cruises
and co-ops. For more information on
the Marine Engineering Operations Major, click on
MEO
This program, accredited by the Technology Accreditation
Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (TAC of ABET), leads to careers in the maritime or shoreside power
plant industries. Graduates are encouraged to take the Engineer in
Training exam, the first step toward becoming a Registered
Professional Engineer. The major includes most of the courses in the
Marine Engineering Operations program, with additional work in math,
technical communications, technical science, and laboratory testing. Classroom study is closely coordinated with practical
experience aboard ship and in laboratories during cruises
and co-ops.

This math-intensive major qualifies you for a career as an
applied and/or design engineer, engineering consultant, or manager in
maritime, industrial, or general technical fields. This program is
accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (EAC of ABET). This
five-year program includes cruises and shoreside experiences and leads
to state and federal licenses as well as eligibility to take the
Engineer in Training exam, the first step toward becoming a Registered
Professional Engineer. In addition to Marine Engineering Operations
coursework, you’ll study calculus, applied mathematics, physics,
chemistry, engineering science and design, management, and technical
communications. Classroom study is closely coordinated with practical
experience aboard ship and in laboratories during cruises
and co-ops. The program includes three semesters of
Co-op training
in industry. For more information on the Marine Systems Engineering
Major, click on MSE.
This non-seagoing major unlocks career opportunities in
utility power plants, biomass operations, and co-generation power
plants and systems;
graduates are eligible for state licensing. Students explore
industrial steam and hydro power, applied thermodynamics, economics,
industrial management, technical communications, and computer
applications, as well as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning.
Practical experience is attained through participation in two co-op
assignments at shoreside operating facilities. For more information on
the Power Engineering Technology Major, click on PET.
