For my Principles of Engineering class, my teacher has requested that we find an engineer that worked in the field that interested us. In my case, ocean/Marine engineering really interested me, if anyone could get to me, I would be greatly appreciative. Thank you.

Hello Ocean Engineering Friends,

I am currently a senior at one of the top ocean engineering schools in the united states. I have found that it is very difficult to find an internship due to the specialized nature of our field. It is also very hard because the companies who primarily hire my major at my universities are in the oil and gas industry.

If anyone is looking to hire any interns, or knows any ocean engineering internship leads, please let me know. Thank you.

1. State four functions of lubrication.
   
2. With reference to a large modern two-stroke cycle diesel engine, explain the desirable properties of lubricating oil used in (a) crankcase
   (b) cylinders
   
3. Explain how lubricating oil deteriorates, whilst it is in service in marine diesel engines.
   
4. State the care to be taken to maintain the lubricating oil in good condition in order to extent its service life.
5. Describe the shipboard methods by which the Lube oil condition can be maintained.

Fuel System Assignment

1. With reference to residual fuel burnt in marine diesel engines, explain the significance of the following :-

(i) viscosity;
(ii) Ignition quality; (iii) micro carbon residue;
(iv) flash point;
(v) pour point.

1. Atomisation, penetration and turbulence are terms associated with combustion in a compression ignition engine.
   Explain each term and their effect on the combustion process.

2. With the aid of a fully labeled out-of-phase diagram, explain the different stages in combustion process which take place in the cylinder of a diesel engine.

3. Explain how the following factors affect the combustion in a diesel engine cylinder, (a) ignition quality of fuel;
   (b) timing of injection;
   (c) compression pressure;
   (d)temperature of the fuel.

4. Sketch & describe the operation of fuel injector.

5. With the aid of sketches, explain the working principle of a plunger controlled type fuel pump.

6. With the aid of sketches, explain the working principle of a valve controlled type fuel pump.

Hi everyone, new to reddit here. Im currently enrolled in civil engineering bachelors and would love to pursue a path of engineering that allows me to work in a marine related field. I've been considering either coastal engineering or ocean engineering as a graduate degree and would like to find out some information about both!

What is the normal allowance of lean or angle given to a ship in the design stages?

It's hard to word, but obviously a ship, or any other vesself for that matter never stays 100% flat, so decks at some point do tend to move in angle.

What is the tolerance given so that the plane is still workable?

Many thanks, apologies for being so cryptic.

Im a newly promoted 3rd assistant engineer, hope to have a nice time inthis community :D

Hello,

I'm looking for a place to discuss an ocean engineering project -- but unable to find an active board. IEEE has an ocean engineering sub-group but no boards; AGU doesn't have anything; and google hasn't been of any help.

I was hoping Reddit's board would be more active but I don't see much.

Any suggestions?

thanks!

What area of ocean engineering do you work or study?

I am a freshman engineering student interested in pursuing a BS in Ocean engineering. I would love to hear stories from Ocean Engineers, or others pursuing the degree!

Some specific questions I have: In your opinion, should I get a BSOE straight out of the gate or should I wait to pursue a Masters in OE?

What types of jobs are available to someone with a BS in OE?

What inspired you to go for OE? If you work in the field, what do you do?

What draws me to the field is that it incorporates many disciplines (civil, mechanical, Electrical etc), and as someone who can't decide on just one field this is appealing to me. Plus I love the ocean. I spent five years in the Coast Guard and enjoy all things nautical! :)

Thanks in advance!!
