But once in college, and certainly during internships andupon graduation, students and graduates are put in the mix of a workforce with potentiallywidely varying expectations. It behooves a university to prepare its graduates for this workforcebut also to help our industry and stakeholders better understand the driving forces of ourgraduates.What Are the Demands of the Marine Engineering Technology Workforce?Universities preparing college graduates to enter the Marine Engineering Technology workforcehave numerous stakeholders and demands on the educational outcomes expected.

This course typically lasts approximately 74 days, and serves as a capstone seaexperience. CE303 students are expected to demonstrate advanced leadership and technicalskills and mentor those participating in their first sea cruise. The next sections of the paper willfocus on CE103 and CE303.Freshman Cruise (CE103)MMA’s first year MET students study the same topics as those in other ABET-accreditedengineering technology programs
