The Bachelor of Science in Ship and Marine Technology Engineering may not be suitable for individuals who lack certain skills and interests. Firstly, because this program is predominantly technical and engineering in nature, it can be challenging for individuals who are not interested in or struggle with mathematics and science. Succeeding in engineering disciplines often requires strong mathematical and analytical thinking skills. Therefore, students who do not feel comfortable in these areas may encounter difficulties in the program.
In addition, this program has a strong focus on maritime-related topics. For individuals who are not interested in the maritime sector or who do not want to work with the sea and ships, the content of the program may not be of interest. The program is designed specifically for those who want to pursue a career in the maritime sector and includes detailed information specific to this sector. Therefore, the program content and career path may not be satisfactory for those who are not interested in the maritime field.
In addition, this program includes practical applications and field studies. Activities such as laboratory work, technical drawings and project-based learning play an important role. For individuals who are not interested in practical work or who are more inclined to theoretical work, this can be boring or tiring.
In addition, Ship and Marine Technology Engineering graduates often work in the maritime sector. This sector can sometimes involve long sea voyages, strict working hours and in some cases challenging working conditions. This career path may not be suitable for individuals who do not want to spend long periods at sea and stay away from family and social life.
Lastly, the post-graduation career opportunities of individuals studying in this field are generally limited to the maritime sector. Therefore, this program may be restrictive for individuals looking for occupational diversity and the possibility of transition to different sectors. For those whose career goals and interests are outside the maritime sector, the education and career opportunities offered by this program may not be satisfactory.
