B.E. or B.Tech. (Marine Engineering) is an undergraduate Marine Engineering course. Marine Engineering is an important branch of engineering which is related to nautical architecture and science. Marine Engineering literally means research conducted in oceans and coastal or inland waters connected to the sea. This course deals with construction and maintenance of ships and other sailing vessels. This discipline of engineering is concerned with the machinery and systems of ships and other marine vehicles and structures. In this course, students deal with a wide range of systems which involves diesel engines, gas turbines, boilers, steam turbines, heat exchangers and pumps and compressors, electrical machinery, hydraulic machinery, refrigeration machinery, steam, water, fuel oil, lubricating oil, compressed gas and electrical systems, equipment for automation and control, machines for firefighting and other forms of damage control, systems for cargo handling. This course is becoming very important as its value is increased many times due to coastal security purpose. This course opens several job opportunities for aspirants.
