Course_Introduction
Marine engineering is a branch of Engineering that deals with nautical architecture and science. It is meant for research conducted in oceans and coastal or inland waters connected to the sea.  Marine Engineering is the design, manufacture and operation of ship engines and machinery. This includes the supervision of engine crew involved in operating the machines and checking for smooth functioning of all steam engines, electric motors, propulsive engines etc. Marine Engineers have the complete responsibility of the ship's technical management. They are responsible for selecting the ships' machinery, which may include diesel engines, steam turbines, gas turbines; and for the design of mechanical, electrical, fluid and control systems throughout the vessel. They also develop newer designs for the engines of sailing vessels and check the efficiency of existing equipments. New technologies like superconductivity, fuel cells and hydrodynamics are being explored in this field to make the vessels more efficient, thus supplying this field with even more interesting job propositions.
