School of Mechanical, Manufacturing and Materials Engineering
JKUAT Self Sponsored Degree Programme in Marine Engineering (September 2010 Intake)
Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology invites applicants for the BSc Marine Engineering programme in the School of Mechanical, Manufacturing and Materials Engineering.
Course Brief
The degree of Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering is a five (5) year programme to be offered at the main campus of JKUAT and waterfront sites. A marine engineer deals with the design, construction and repair of sea going vessels; offshore structures and marine systems.
A marine engineer also works on offshore oil and gas drilling platforms and onshore as a consultant and manager. Graduates will have plenty of opportunities to work internationally as can be inferred from the expert projections of the rising shortage of seafarers; for instance as reported in the Lloyds List of 20th May 2010.
