Marine engineering is the Cinderella of engineering, but can be used in a broad spectrum of engineering based jobs. I started out as a marine engineer, then worked as a commissioning engineer on a nuclear power station, easily transferred to industrial and process engineering and then qualified as a reactor operator in a nuclear power station control room. Finished off my career compiling operating procedures for nuclear power stations. My original colleagues entered into oil, hotel, entrepreneurial and even joined famous racing car teams. To date, still think that marine engineering is the finest engineering base to have [with it you can do just about anything].

Talk from personal experience I’m a marine engineer the money is good and the job is highly rewarding however if you spend a lot of time on ships your away for about 6-8 months at a time or if your lucky you’ll work 6 weeks on 6 week off if your considering this profession as a career go for it but think carefully before your final decision a lot of people jump in with two feet and don’t realise how hard it is as a job and how it effects their personal life.

You can definitely use this degree working in power plants! Alot of the systems are similar or can be related. And very likely you can use this degree to allow you to go for either a masters degree in say electrical or mechanical engineering.

There is a pathway for grow up the ladder in marine engineering 4 years of engineering, u will be employed as a trainee engineer for a min of 6 months post which u will be eligible for class 4 exam. Post class 4 exam ,ur company will promote u as a 4th engineer and then to a 3rd engineer ,depending upon ur performance. Once u complete 12 months sea time with Class 4 C.O.C u are eligible for giving Class 2 exam. Once u clear class 2, u will be promoted as a 2nd Engineer(again depending upon performance)Once u complete 18 months with a Class 2 C.O.C u are eligible for Class 1 exam. Once u clear class 1 exam ,depending upon performance u will be promoted as a chief engineer(which is the highest rank in the ladder ) Once u sail as a chief engineer, u can shift to a shore Job as a technical superindent.

Finalllyy you did it ,really glade you did this video

Fantastic! Thank you for sharing.

I can tell you this now as someone that's starting marine engineering. This degree is extremely in demand in the shipping industry as most people choose to do nautical science instead as it allows for the chance to rank up to a captain whereas a marine engineer can only be chief engineer. This means there are far less marine engineers and they are highly in demand.

You pretty much missed the fact that many marine engineering graduates don't work at sea or in the Maritime industry at all. I graduated with a Marine engineering degree and didn't sail, instead, I was hired quickly to work in a hospital. The education in many things mechanical, boilers, refrigeration, electricity, electronics, thermodynamics etc made my skills attractive. I currently work as s building control systems manager on a large campus making good money and using a lot of the knowledge that started in college.

Thank You for this

I am conflicted on whether or not to study ITM or Management. I think I want to pursue a career in HRM but don’t know which major would be a better fit

I have know a few Marine Engineers over the years. I found that the sea is almost a vocation. Benefits are travel and you do what you love plus I know some have moved easily to other jobs. One of the things that was mentioned to me is that you spend alot of time with ''sailors'' I am not sure this was mentioned as a benefit!!. Great content Shane

You oughta do a video on government job degrees. Like Masters and Doctorates in political science, economics, public administration, public affairs, public policy, even public health...

The last cpl years of cadets have had a shit bargain with their sea yr. with all the restricted to ship stuff. Im with MEBA (u got meba and amo main two marine engineers unions in usa), so most of our contracts did (or should have) compensated with penalty pay for being restricted to ship, so it hasnt been that bad. Out of school (with a USCG 3rd Assistant in either Motor, Steam or Gas turbine or any combination of such that you would sit and license for with the USCG) your quickest route to hire is joining both amo and MEBA and going with whomever gives you a billet first. MEBA is much more transparent and requires showing up to the shipping hall (which also creates somewhat of a passive vetting system for the ones that create more work for the next guy), while AMO does it all online. I went with MEBA five yrs ago for the simple fact they shipped me out quicker. MEBA contracts pay about 15-20% higher than AMO. Most of our contracts (jobs that show up on the board) are 90-120 days east coast and gulf, I havnt sailed west coast yet but im told theyre 60-120 depending. Most 3rds and 2nds are releif not rotary. If you do two trips per year (average maybe 5-7 months out), and in regards to the 3 separate compainies/contracts Ive worked for, starting 3rds pay is going to be anywhere from 110k-135K and 2nds 130K-148K (you can upgrade to 2 A/E after 360 sailing days as a 3rd A/E). MEBA contracts are considered best in the world, I think only Alaska Marine Highway and some danish companies are on par or better. Jobs are going open board rn, good time to get into shipping. Plus i know our insurance (real good BCBS ppo) just included full inpatient rehab coverage which has been long overdue in this industry:) And the benefits of this unionized work structure is being exposed to a wide variety of systems and operating plants, which has proven time and time again to produce the best engineers/industry leaders. You get comfortable early and you tend to get complacent with creativity/rest on your laurels.

As someone who´s going toi have to choose between aerospace(aeronautics or avionics) engineering and marine engineering degree in a couple of weeks, this is very useful! I have been more into planes than i am now, but I also don't knon if my interest in marine engineering isn't just quick to die curiosity. Planes are cool but I also love the ocean...

Do you have any app recommendations about marine engineering?

Could you make a similar video on commercial diving?

I love ships, and I really hope to be able to get a job in the marine Industry with my future mechanical engineering degree, unfortunately Marine Engineering major is not available in my university. Thanks for your content, it helps a lot and improves this world bro

as a man who worked on offshore oil platform for 5 years I can tell you that, it takes (steals) a big part of your personal life, You don`t see how you children grow up, your small kids can even forget your face sometimes))))))))))) I couldn`t cope with that so I left that Job

I want to be a boat welder. After completing my level 2 and 3 welding and fabrication apprenticeships. Will i qualify to become a maritime welder or should i study further and get a bachelors degree in marine engineering or a different marine engineering course?

Do corrosion engineering degree / jobs / career. Great videod

Can you do a video on the meteorology/ atmospheric science degree? I used to want to pursue this degree, but now im thinking more about engineering.

Can you please do a video on BS in Marine Transportation

Hey Could you please tell me which course are you specifically talking about Is it Beng(Hons) in Marine Technology Does this course leads to working as a Marine Engineer in Merchant Navy ships? Please do reply

I LOVE boats. If I could, I would sail around the world 15 times. I am also very mathematically and scientifically minded. I am 16, and aiming for As in my maths, physics, and chemistry. I am located in the UK so it won’t be difficult for me to find a university offering this degree (UCL, Southampton, Portsmouth, Falmouth, etc). I truly believe that this job is perfect for me. I would love to do it even if it paid half what it offers. It’s a dream job. Perfect for me.

we live with ocean, we need marine engineering and naval architecture. no marine engineering/naval architecture means no ship, no ship means no goods we need them, government and companies should pay them and all engineer them huge so their profession keep existing and growing

Really nice vids.. I hope you can create one for Marine Transportation or Seafaring too.. Future Seawoman heree

Computer Science & Technology or Marine Engineering or Architecture ? which is the best degree

Can you please do a Health Information Management video (Bachelors of Science). Thanks in advance. This degree is the next big degree people say.

Im going to high school, I have to choose between, physics, bio, chemistry, business, economics, or accounting. My dream is to become a marine engineer. What do I choose? And is it worth it?

Hi can I ask what kind of contact do u do when u r a marine engineering

There are universities that do offer a Double Degree/Dual Degree on BSc in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering 4-5 Years and gives you two diplomas if you graduated/finished the course. By the way Shane, how do you pronounce your surname, "Hummus"?

I'm 16 and I'm interested in this degree because I love yachts and when I'll be older i want to start my own yacht company

Do you companies recognize a marine engineering degree from the University from a foreign country?

Can you do a video about civil engineering please?

Which country needs Marine engineers the most

Hello sir do you know about tolani maritime institute

Getting a Mechanical Engineering Degree would serve here. To be a shipboard engineer, in the US, doesn't require a engineer degree, just USCG courses and "Sea time"( but there are who do have degrees from 4- School, Maritime Academies, USNA, ect,). Traditionally, engineer were typically "blue collar" jobs up until the Cold War and Space Race era. In the US, Graduate with 4-year engineering degree are hire by companies in the capacity of engineer, opposed to a licensed Professional Engineer(PE) .

please do is a physics degree worth it

really wish youd do a review on pharmacology...😔 I give up

Can you talk about fisheries major please

And also do people pay bills with bitcoin wile they r working or is it just a side hobby?

Can you do one about bme?

What about ocean engineering?

A cadetship is soooo much better than a degree. At the end of your cadetship you can simply top up your degree to make it a Bsc degree rather than a foundation.

Hello brother ,abdul subuhan from India, currently I am understanding mechanical engineering after my degree I have planned to study maine engineering in abroad , In this please help to know what coruse should I pursue in abroad like USA and CANADA .please let me know about this

what about water resources engineering!? please do a video about this degree

Shane do MATERIALS ENGINEERING next!!!

Can i pursue meng in naval architecture and marine engineering at ubc canada with a bachelors in mechanical engineering ?

Does someone know the percent of people who sail and the percent of people that work on land when the graduate as a marine engineer? Because i think i might like the profession but i wouldnt want to travel.

Anyone from the UK reading you can get this degree on a UK grant where you’re payed for the whole time you’re at uni and you will get a bachelors degree and engineering license so you can work at sea too. Marine engineering cadetships

Can you do bioengineering and is it same as biomedical

It depends on your nationality many international shipping corporation would rather recruit someone from India china Vietnam Burma

electronic engineering video please

Can I still get into marine engineering if I'm currently studying Maths, Business and Graphic Design in College?

I'm student of Naval Engineering and I hope to get job becouse the career is so difficult 🤣 in this point of my life I want someone get me away from here

Dirk Pitt brought me here

Is it possible to double major in Marine Engineer & Aerospace or Aeronautical Engineer? How hard is it?

would love it but i can’t swim 😂

Are there any job prospects on shore? Or its only on board?

you should do a video on online phd programs if they are worth it.

Is Bachelor in business management is worth it ?

How old u can be working as a maureen engineering

Is A Marine Engineering Degree Worth It? - No, it's not. I'm naval architect & marine engineer with 3 years work experience in a classification society (= google, facebook for a software eng) and I'm jobless. study programming.

Is marine engineering the same as ocean engineering?

I'm not saying this to be mean, but as constructive feedback. You should focus on more know and less specialized degree. Areas in the arts and humanities are a example of this. If you focus only on science degrees you just end up doing slightly different videos and extremely similar subjects(engineering for example).

Bioinformatics??

Alguien de la etsin aqui?

Pro: Sea Shanties

Is ocean engineering the same??

Less than 100 graduate with a naval architect and marine degree per year,

With all due respect, that demand statistic is absolute BS. The maritime industry is hurting bad for engineers and has been for a long time.

ME's with a coast guard license make 120k minimum....working half the year, with your food and board paid for lol I also know plenty of people that go onto power plants, power equipment, or shipyard.

Repent from your SINS and receive life from Jesus Christ and be saved in Jesus mighty name amen.

shane wont pin this

Sounds really lame, and overly-specialized.

What about ocean engineering?

Repent from your SINS and receive life from Jesus Christ and be saved in Jesus mighty name amen.
