Learning and Methodological Facilities

The training system of cadets/student is fully in line with the requirements of the International Convention on Standards of Training, Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW 78/95 as amended).

The main department’s tasks of educational and methodical work are:

  • optimization of the structure and content of academic disciplines;
  • improving the methodology of training;
  • improving the scientific and pedagogical qualification of the department’s teachers;
  • implementation of the results of department’s scientific researches in educational process;
  • development of the educational-methodical and logistical support of educational classes;
  • implementation of interactive forms of learning in the learning process using LMS MOODLE;
  • development of certification programs for cadets/student;
  • participation in the development of educational programs for bachelors, masters and doctors of philosophy in the ship technical systems and complexes management.

The quality of training is ensured by:

– using interactive teaching methods;

– consolidation of theoretical knowledge and demonstration of the acquired skills of carrying a machine watch on full-function simulators of the engine room;

– practical shipboard training;

– forming professional skills in the technical use, maintenance and repair of elements of the vessel’s power plant in the department laboratories.

Demonstration of acquired competencies is also carried out by passing test tasks, doing and defense of course projects and graduation works, as well as during the passing a comprehensive qualification exam.

The department teachers systematically work on improving the methods of control of learning materials (testing, development of control tasks and examination materials), optimization of tasks for independent work, etc.

The department teaches the following disciplines:
