The academic content and curriculum of the Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering is designed to provide students with in-depth theoretical and practical knowledge of ship machinery and marine systems. The curriculum of the program is generally based on basic engineering sciences, ship machinery and systems, maritime technologies and applied engineering skills.
Basic Sciences and Engineering Courses: Students begin their education with basic sciences such as physics, mathematics and chemistry. These courses form the basis of engineering education. In addition, basic engineering courses such as engineering mechanics, materials science, fundamentals of electrical and electronics engineering, thermodynamics and fluid mechanics are also included in the program. These courses aim to provide students with the ability to analyze and solve engineering problems.
Ship Machinery and Systems: Students learn the mechanical and electrical systems of ships in detail through courses on ship machinery and systems. These courses include topics such as ship engines, auxiliary machinery, power transmission systems, automation and control systems. In these courses, students gain knowledge in the design, operation, maintenance and repair of ship machinery.
Maritime Technologies and Applications: This section focuses on technological developments and applications specific to the maritime industry. Ship electronics, navigation systems, maritime safety and environmental protection technologies are some examples of these courses. These courses help students to understand the technological aspects of the modern maritime industry.
Practical Engineering Skills: Another important aspect of the program is to provide students with practical engineering skills. Laboratory studies, workshop trainings, computer-aided design and simulation courses allow students to reinforce their theoretical knowledge with practical applications.
Internship and Practice Opportunities: Most programs include an internship in the maritime industry. These internships offer students the opportunity to experience the real work environment in the industry and apply the knowledge they have learned in practice.
The Marine Engineering Program aims to provide students with a wide range of theoretical knowledge, while at the same time providing them with skills appropriate to the practical requirements of the maritime industry. This holistic approach enables graduates to integrate quickly and effectively into the industry.
