Is seafaring the only option for a TMI engineer?
No. The marine engineering curriculum covers all the core elements of a Mechanical Engineering programme with additional emphasis on particular equipment and systems that find applications in ships. It also contains substantial elements of electrical engineering topics. With this preparation, the TMI graduate engineer is equipped not only for a career at sea but is well prepared for any position that requires a Mechanical or Electrical engineer. Industries that are associated with engines, boilers, hydraulic systems or process control machinery among others can amply utilise the skills of a marine engineer. For those who desire to study further, the degree provides a solid foundation for advanced studies in engineering or MBA programmes.
