DIPLOMA OF TECHNOLOGY - MARINE ENGINEERING
SYSTEMS DESIGN
CAREERS
The goal of the Marine Engineering Systems Design Technology Program is to prepare students for careers particularly in ship
building/ship repairing and offshore industries, but also in general mechanical engineering without limiting their options. In addition
to shipyard positions, students find employment with government agencies, consulting engineering companies, offshore and ocean
engineering companies, engineering sale and servicing companies, utility and industrial production companies. Some students find
employment with the Canadian Navy, refineries and pipelines industry.
This program permits many versatile and diverse job opportunities. Most graduating technologists from this Program will work
initially under the supervision of a professional engineer or technologists, but will, as their careers advance, work independently.
Many graduates have advanced to senior positions, and some are partners in engineering enterprises.
