Program description
Marine Engineering Technology
Students are immersed in an internationally recognized co-operative marine engineering cadet program designed in co-operation with Transport Canada Marine Safety and Security (TCMSS) and Canadas shipping companies. Students focus on developing competencies required to function as part of a shipboard marine engineering team. Content includes, and is based upon, the TCMSS Engineering Officer Education Training (EOET) program requirements.
The final two semesters are open to anyone holding an STCW Reg. III/1 Marine Engineer Certificate of Competency. These students can apply for advanced standing exempting them from the first two years of the program. Upon completion of semesters five and six, they may be exempted from written examinations for 2nd and Chief Engineer Officer.
Admission requirements
OSSD or equivalent with
- Grade 12 English (C or U)
- Any* Grade 12 Mathematics (C, M, or U)
*A minimum grade of 70% in Grade 12 MAP4C, Foundations for College Mathematics, is required.
Note: Applicants must provide a valid Transport Canada Marine Medical stating "fit for sea service" or "fit for sea service with limitations" prior to program start. In the case of an applicant with a certificate "fit for sea service with limitations", the application will be reviewed. Failure to provide the certificate by the deadline may result in an offer of admission being revoked and withdrawal from courses.
