  Marine engineering - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Marine Engineers are the officers of a ship which operate and maintain the propulsion and electrical generation systems onboard a ship.
The field is closely related to mechanical engineering, although the modern engineer requires knowledge (and hands on experience) with electrical, electronic, pneumatic, hydraulic, chemistry, control engineering, naval architecture, process engineering, gas turbines and even nuclear technology on military vessels.
Marine Engineering staff also deal with the "Hotel" facilities onboard, notably the sewage, lighting, air conditioning and water systems.

 Michigan Engineering | Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering | Overview
Since the design of modern marine systems encompasses many engineering fields, graduates of this department are called upon to handle diverse professional responsibilities; therefore, the program includes study in the fundamentals of the physical sciences and mathematics as well as a broad range of engineering aspects that constitute design for the marine environment.
In marine dynamics, the student studies the vibrations of marine structures and engines and the rigid body responses of the vessel to wind and waves.
The department’s Ocean Engineering Laboratory (OEL) is involved in full-scale field measurements such as beach erosion, thermal fronts and pollution transport on the Great Lakes, predicting the response of engineering structures in the coastal zone, and active remote sensing of the ocean surface from satellites and aircraft.

 Engineering technicians
Employment of engineering technicians often is influenced by the same local and national economic conditions that affect engineers; as a result, job outlook varies with industry and specialization.
Engineering technicians who work in research and development build or set up equipment; prepare and conduct experiments; collect data; calculate or record results; and help engineers or scientists in other ways, such as making prototype versions of newly designed equipment.
Growth in the largest specialty—electrical and electronics engineering technicians—is expected to be about as fast as the average, while employment of environmental engineering technicians is expected to grow faster than average to meet the environmental demands of an ever-growing population.
