CIP Program Description:

Students in the Marine Systems Program learn to install, maintain and repair marine electrical and mechanical systems through formal lectures, labs, field trips and hands-on work on actual vessels and vessel systems.

The curriculum begins with the basics of mechanical fastenings and the use of hand tools. The student’s ability to assemble and disassemble equipment grows as their hand skills develop. Instruction continues with lectures and labs designed to create a comprehensive understanding of gasoline and diesel engines, basic composite construction and repair, electrical theory, wiring, pumps and plumbing. Students learn about bilge and sanitary systems, electrical systems, propulsion systems, sailboat rigging, steering and controls, refrigeration and air-conditioning, and how these systems are integrated. Students gain confidence that they will be able to service, troubleshoot, and install all of the equipment common in a modern yacht. The Marine Systems Program simulates a work environment in a real world boat shop with an emphasis on developing a professional work ethic.

The Marine Systems Program also offers students the opportunity to prepare for and take industry recognized certification exams from organizations such as ABYC, NEMA and others.
