Program Title
Maritime: Marine Engineering Technology
Campus
Central
Seattle Maritime Academy
4455 Shilshole Ave NW, Seattle, WA 98107
(206) 934-2647
Type of Degree
Certificate
The Marine Engineering Technology program combines practical shipboard experience and required courses in engineering with additional courses in computation, communication and human relations. Emphasis is placed on the theory, design, operation and maintenance of marine propulsion plants and equipment. Students go to sea once a week during the second and third quarters aboard the college’s training vessels. The academic program is followed by a 30- to 90-day-at-sea internship on a large commercial vessel.
SMA offers the Marine Engineering Technology curriculum as a 73 77 credit program, culminating in a certificate in Marine Engineering Technology from Seattle Central. Students will also be eligible for a U.S. Merchant Mariners document endorsed with any and/or all of the following engine room (QMED) ratings: Electrician; Oiler; Pumpman; Refrigeration Engineer; and/or Junior Engineer. If the student’s at-sea internship was on a vessel with steam propulsion, he/she will also be eligible for a “fireman/ watertender” QMED rating. The MET certificate program also qualifies each graduate for an STCW “ratings forming part of an engineering watch” endorsement.
