Marine Mechanical Engineer

Duties and Responsibilities:

 Marine engineers design, maintain, and repair the mechanical systems that are used in aircraft carriers, sailboats, submarines, cargo ships, and other marine vessels. Because there are so many different mechanical systems on ships, many marine engineers choose to specialize in designing certain types of equipment. Engines, pumps, and electrical systems are a few areas where a marine engineer may choose to focus.

Salary: $77,638 - $140,390

Education:

Anyone interested in pursuing a career in marine engineering must complete a significant amount of education in science, technology and engineering. Degrees in marine engineering are available at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Bachelors degrees in marine engineering introduce students to basic concepts of marine propulsion, fluid dynamics and ship design.
