Introduction
The course Marine Engineering Practice, or the MEP is developed based on the requirement of the STCW standards for an operational level marine engineer under the operational function of "Maintenance and repair at the operational level", which will cover the necessary knowledge base for the following competencies as a marine engineer officer- Class IV:
The e-learning course is presented in the form of text, animations, diagrams, case studies, problem solving exercises and many references; students are quizzed on the reading topics toward providing them with a feedback of their understanding and to encourage them to progress further. The course is also aided by live presence of professional course instructors to deal with student enquiries via interesting Q&A sessions.
