    Marine technology involves technologies related to the safe use and protection of the marine environment. It includes fields like naval architecture, marine engineering, ship design and building, offshore oil and gas exploration and production, hydrodynamics, navigation, underwater technology, marine resources, transport and shipping, environmental protection, and leisure activities. A marine technology program provides classroom instruction and hands-on training in skills needed for scientific support roles aboard ships, such as operating and maintaining electronic navigation devices, instruments for physical and chemical measurement, sampling devices, and data systems. Students also learn to troubleshoot, service, and repair marine engines and systems. Marine technology is related to the marine science and technology industry, which produces products and technologies for commercial fishing, undersea

    Marine technology is defined by WEGEMT (a European association of 40 universities in 17

    countries) as "technologies for the safe use, exploitation, protection of, and intervention in,
    the marine environment." In this regard, according to WEGEMT, the technologies involved in marine
    technology are the following:[1] naval architecture, marine engineering, ship design, ship building and
    ship operations; oil and gas exploration, exploitation, and
    production; hydrodynamics, navigation, sea surface and sub-surface support, underwater technology
    and engineering; marine resources (including both renewable and non-renewable marine
    resources); transport logistics and economics; inland, coastal, short sea and deep
    sea shipping; protection of the marine environment; leisure and safety.[1]

    According to the Cape Fear Community College of Wilmington, North Carolina, the curriculum for a


    marine technology program provides practical skills and academic background that are essential in
    succeeding in the area of marine scientific support. Through a marine technology program, students
    aspiring to become marine technologists will become proficient in the knowledge and skills
    required of scientific support technicians.
    The educational preparation includes classroom instructions and practical training aboard ships,
    such as how to use and maintain electronic navigation devices, physical and chemical measuring
    instruments, sampling devices, and data acquisition and reduction systems aboard ocean-going and
    smaller vessels, among other advanced equipment.[2]
    As far as marine technician programs are concerned, students learn hands-on to trouble shoot,
    service and repair four- and two-stroke outboards, stern drive, rigging, fuel & lube systems, electrical
    including diesel engines.[3]

    Relationship to commerce[edit]
    Marine technology is related to the marine science and technology industry, also known
    as maritime commerce. The Executive Office of Housing and Economic Development (EOHED) of
    the government of Massachusetts in the United States defined marine science and technology
    industry as any business that deals primarily with or relates to the sea. A marine science
    industry includes businesses and technologies, research facilities, and higher education learning
    institutions. Companies and businesses involved in marine science and industry produce products
    such as ropes used for commercial fishing, undersea robotics, and stabilized sensor systems. The
    marine science industry has five sub-sectors, namely marine instrumentation and equipment, marine
    services, marine research and education, marine materials and supply, and shipbuilding and design.
