Study on Accreditation of Marine Engineering Programs

This paper presents the intermediate results of a research study on the accreditation of marine engineering programs. Similar to other higher education curricula, undergraduate marine engineering programs are routinely accredited by nation accreditation bodies. Various methods of program approval and accreditation are also analyzed in this ongoing project, but the program assessment by a specialized accreditation board or panel is the principal objective of the study. This accreditation of an engineering program is intended to improve its quality on one side, and to bring it on the level with other engineering specialties like mechanical, civil, aeronautical, and others. Obviously, only the programs that offer an engineering degree together with or without a maritime license are the subjects of the study. Yet the project recommendations might contain conditions and requirements for converting a strictly license program into a combined license/degree engineering curriculum.
