The mariner’s love for the sea has been a muse for many
poets and musicians since ages. The love for the sea is hard to resist they
say. Marine Engineering is for all those souls of the mariner that are latent
in the hearts of the aspiring marine engineers. You get to sail on the finest
of the vessels with blue sea meeting the sky as far as you can see and
beautiful fishes and water birds escorting you all the way. However, it takes a
lot of hard work and determination in terms of academics and merit to be able
to romance the sea.
Marine engineering refers to the engineering of boats,
ships, oil rigs and any other marine vessel or structure. It also includes oceanographic
engineering. Specifically, Marine engineering is the discipline of applying engineering sciences in order to
the development, design, operate and maintain the watercraft propulsion. It also deals with on-board systems and
oceanographic technology for marine vehicles of any kind like surface ships and
submarines etc.
In 2012, the average annual earnings for Marine Engineers in the U.S. was
$96,140 with an average hourly earnings of $46.22.
