Marine engineers and naval architects are involved in the design, construction, and
maintenance of ships, boats, and related equipment. They design and supervise
the construction of everything from aircraft carriers to submarines and from
sailboats to tankers. Naval architects work on the basic design of ships,
including the form and stability of hulls. Marine engineers work on the
propulsion, steering, and other systems of ships. Marine engineers and naval
architects apply knowledge from a range of fields to the entire process by
which water vehicles are designed and produced. Other workers who operate or
supervise the operation of marine machinery on ships and other vessels
sometimes may be called marine engineers or, more frequently, ship engineers,
but they do different work and are covered under water transportation
occupations elsewhere in the Handbook.
