Department of Marine Engineering
Overview
Department of Marine Engineering educates and imparts skills required to operate and manage machineries in modern ships of merchant marine fleet. A career in the Merchant Marine as an Engineer Officer can be a rewarding one both financially and in terms of job satisfaction. For the able young officer, the system provides a smooth and rapid path of career development. The process is likely to take less than eight years from the commencement of cadetship till qualifying with Class 2 Certificate.
Further 3 years may be required to go up in the hierarchy to reach Class I Certificate of Competency (Chief Engineer). A modern day ship is equipped with propulsion plants, power generating plants, cargo gears and many other service equipment along with their associated control systems. The Marine Engineers are responsible for safe operation of all machineries and their periodic maintenances. Most Marine Engineers do not remain at sea throughout their working life. After having gained their Class I Certificate and experience as a senior officer on board, they seek employment ashore. Shore based employers generally have high regard for the seafaring engineer and consequently the transfer from shipboard to land based employment is usually easily achieved.

SHIP IN CAMPUS
MSEC had reached a new height with the commissioning of unique all structure based ship-in campus at its campus in Kilakarai.
The project worth over 10 Crore Rupees has inducted with a team of in-house experts as well as from outside industry with the procuring of a large number of the ship’s machinery and equipment. The Ship in Campus module is meant for training of the maritime candidates with an aim of providing them with an environment as close to the actual conditions, which the candidates will encounter during their service on board a ship.
The Main Engine & “Miura” make boiler are being imported especially from Japan-home to some of the world’s best ship equipment. The Engine Room will house all real life machinery viz. main engine, generating set, purifiers, boiler (without firing arrangement) etc., and various other equipment and systems mostly procured brand new from the manufacturers for hands on demonstration to the candidates. The model consists three decks, the lower deck incorporates all machinery and allied systems, the middle one consists all consoles of Machinery & Control room and the upper deck housing Emergency Generator & Co2 flooding system.
There are many other special features in this exclusive building of Ship-in-Campus at our premier training institute at Kilakarai
