Advanced Diploma of Applied Science (Marine Electrical Engineering) (22T)

Understanding marine electrical engineering

1. Demonstrate a coherent understanding of marine electrical engineering by:

1.1. Applying the electrical engineering principles and concepts to advance their understanding of the marine electrical engineering.

1.2. Recognising that marine electrical engineering is multidisciplinary.

1.3. Applying concepts (for example, from electrical, electronics, control engineering and information technology) in a holistic manner to specific issues relevant to the maritime industry.

1.4. Translating it into solutions for problems and issues associated with the maritime industry.

Knowledge of the marine electrical engineering and its systems

2. Exhibit depth and breadth of marine electrical engineering knowledge by:

2.1. Demonstrating well-developed knowledge in, electrical electronics and control systems engineering, repair and maintenance and emergency procedures to follow when taking care of wellbeing of persons on-board.

2.2. Explaining the role and significance of relevant knowledge in developing and managing marine electrical, electronic and control systems

2.3 Analyse emergency situations and organise effective response.

Inquiry and problem solving

3. Critically analyse and solve specific marine electrical engineering problems by:

3.1. Gathering and interpreting data /information from a range of sources relevant to the issue at hand.

3.2. Selecting and correctly applying relevant and appropriate practical and/or theoretical techniques to monitor systems and plan effective maintenance of electrical plant and machinery.

3.4. Interpreting quantitative and qualitative data in order to apply knowledge to marine electrical engineering studies, problems and issues.

Communication

4. Be effective communicators of engineering by:

4.1. Using appropriate written and oral forms to communicate understanding of concepts and principles of marine electrical, electronics and control engineering, repair and maintenance with the key stake holders of the industry, such as shipping companies, classification societies, charterers, flag states, port states etc.

4.2. Being aware of the importance of selecting appropriate means of communication with the wider

Community for the safe operation of ships and protection of the marine environment.

Personal and professional responsibility

5. Be accountable for the own learning and work by:

5.1. Being independent and self-directed learners

5.2. Working effectively, responsibly and safely in an individual or team context.

5.3. Demonstrating knowledge of the regulatory frameworks relevant to the marine environment.5.4. Personally practising ethical conduct in your work.

Sea-time is a built-in phase of your AMC seafaring qualification.  Work-based training is a work integrated learning opportunity linking academic learning with its practical application in the workplace.  Students are required to complete the following unit during their qualifying sea-time:  JNE125 Shipboard Operational Experience (ETO).

Seafaring students must gain employment as a trainee marine deck or engineer officer with a shipping company in order to obtain the required qualifying sea service and complete on the job AMSA requirements. Employment may be sought either before or after Year 1 studies (also known as pre-sea training).

On completion of the relevant phases of study, you will be eligible to undertake the AMSA final examination. Upon successful completion, you will be eligible for the relevant certificate of competency to serve on ships.
