  • This week we’re headed out to sea for some marine engineering. How do we design ships to handle aquatic environments? How do we deal with marine life and corrosion and all of the other problems that come with engineering in the ocean? How can large maritime structures be built on land and transferred into water?

      Marine engineers tend to have an analytical mindset, with an easygoing attitude.
      They can appreciate the real differences between an “emergency” and an “urgency.”
      The only BS they will give you is how much time it takes to fix stuff.
      The actual time in their head is the “in a perfect world” time.
      So, they lie to you, and to themselves, and typically pad an extra 50% for unforeseen complications.
      After that fudge factor, most of the time it comes out to be pretty close.
      So, go with their recommendation because their BS has merit.

Yes and no, long periods without your family or friends can be tough. usually the pay and a nice crew will outweigh the tough times. Having said that, as a marine engineer you are not bound the work on a ship. You could work in alot of different fields and still travel all over the world.

    In the age of sail, sacrificial sheathing of cheap, low quality wood was added to the hull to protect the actual planks underneath from fouling - especialy the shipworm, a crustacean that burrows into the wooden hull, slowly destroying it.
    Later copper sheathing was used instead, as the toxic effects of the copper effectively prevented foulign to occur in the first place.

    I think it's worth mentioning that when the Navy designed the new submarine propeller, it wasn't to prevent damage to the propeller, it was to make the submarines harder to detect underwater by preventing the noise of cavitation. Passive sonar is very important for submarines, and staying as quiet as possible to avoid detection is a great strategy.

      *Remotely-controlled submarines have been around for a long time, both for hobbyists and for professional usage. Perhaps one of the most famous was that which was used to discover the wreckage of the Titanic. I've never seen a consumer model of impressive quality, but I did get to see a fancy professional model which used to inspect damage to a lock gate at work last year. It cost a lot of money. I think they tend to have tethers, but that doesn't necessarily disqualify them from being considered "drones." Though the popular term would be "ROV," or "remotely-operated vehicle."*
