Shipboard Operations (Engine) JNE123
Introduction
This unit introduces students to the shipping industry and to the duties, ¿¿responsibilities, and lifestyle of a Marine Engineering Officer. The focus of this unit is ¿¿to develop a basic knowledge of vessel construction, operation of propulsion ¿machinery, and ¿auxiliary machinery systems. This knowledge is taught through theory ¿classes, and web-based ¿learning and may be enhanced through practical activities on ¿equipment like that ¿which they will encounter on-board ship. On completion of this unit, ¿students will have the ¿skills, knowledge, and attributes to undertake shipboard ¿operations relevant to a Trainee ¿Engineer/Officer as required by the STCW 2010 ¿Convention under the supervision of an ¿Engineer/Officer.¿ This unit meets the requirements for knowledge, understanding, and proficiency set ¿out by the current Maritime Training Package, the STCW 2010 (Manila ¿Amendments), and Table A-III/1 of the STCW Code.¿
