BE Marine Engineering or Bachelor of Engineering in Marine Engineering course is a full-time undergraduate Marine Engineering program of 4 years which is divided into 8 semesters of study. Marine Engineering course is the study that deals with the production, design, development and maintenance of the sea equipment which are used in boats, ships, submarines or any other water transport.
Marine engineering is a branch of engineering that expertise in the operation and construction of machine equipment for sea craft, dock, harbour installations and all sea related operations.
They design, maintain, build machines used in and around the sea. One can pursue this marine engineering course degree in BE/B.Tech in Marine engineering, BE/B.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, and Masters and the Ph.D. degree in marine engineering.
The course subjects are concentrated on the study of concepts and understanding of machines and designing and building different kinds of sea equipment, from building boats, ships to harbour machines in seaports.
Today, the demand for marine engineers has increased with the rise in transport and emerging trade systems that take place between many countries, thereby the need for marine engineers to check, maintain, construct new machines for water ports has been in demand.
