PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS
This program is designed to graduate students with a variety of strengths that can be used in a large array of employment areas.
• Discipline-related and application courses are supplemented by further courses in Mathematics, to support the technical content;
by Marine Law and courses in Business Management.
• The program recognizes the increasing role and use of computers in the technologies. Computer application and familiarity with
common engineering software is stressed wherever possible. Students have CAD courses designed to give extensive exposure
to packages such as advanced AutoCAD, which is required in the job market. These packages keep students current with
industry standards and improve employment prospects.
• The program is recognized and accredited by Transport Canada for remission of sea time and non-safety credited examinations
at levels from Fourth Class to Second Class certificates of competency. The graduates from the Marine Engineering program
may choose from shore-based marine employment or ship-based employment as engineering officers.
• Upon graduation the student can be credited with 30-months sea service. To qualify to write the initial certificate of competency
(4th Class) the graduate must submit to Transport Canada a Sea Training Manual (Vol. 1, 2 and 3) together with proof of
graduation and six months active sea service.
• The graduates are exempted from the following challenge examinations in Third and Second Class certificates: Naval
Architecture, Electrotechnology, Thermodynamics and Applied Mechanics
• In addition to the certification opportunities described, graduates of the Marine Institute Diploma of Technology in Marine
Engineering are eligible for admission to the Memorial University Bachelor of Maritime Studies and Bachelor of Technology
programs. Upon completion of the diploma, candidates are required to complete 13 additional courses for the Bachelor of
Maritime Studies degree or Bachelor of Technology degree.
