In June 1998, The Commission on Higher Education ( CHED ) implemented a new structure as well as ne curricular for education towards Bachelor of Science in Marine Engineering. These changes were made to comply with the ammendments made to the International Convention on Standards of Training and Watchkeeping for Seafarers of 1978 ( STCW ’98 ) and adopted by the International Maritime Organization ( IMO ) in July 1995.

The goal of this sea project book is to guide, monitor and provide the knowledge to every cadet/cadette needed to meet the requirements stated in CHED’s syllabus for the subject. Every reasonable effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is relevant and presented in logical way.

Bear in mind that the technical and socio-economical developments entail to the new equipment and systems will constantly be introduced and implemented in the shipping industry. This development and its consequences must also be reflected and use in teaching aids.

Any comments, revision of this sea project book for improvement and updates of knowledge from officers on board therefore highly appreciated.

HELPFUL HINTS FOR SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETING THIS SEA PROJECT

1. Probably the most important aspect of these Sea Project is the only record of your accomplishments during the sea year. When answering questions in the project, use your observations and what you have learned to demonstrate your competence.

2. Read your Sea Project thoroughly understood the instructions and questions being ask during the scheduled sea project lectures.

3. All work on some parts of your project start from day 1. Identify these portions of your project and commence accordingly.

4. Carry a small pocket notebook at all times and make frequent notes of your observations and research throughout the workday.

5. Ship’s officers are an excellent source of information but are employed to operate the vessel and are not obliged to teach cadets. However, if the cadet shows motivation, worthiness, and selects proper time to ask questions they will generally be wiling to pass on their knowledge.

6. Typewritten projects are easy to read and preferable since clarity and neatness enhance your work, handwritten project are not acceptable anymore.

7. All computational work on Navigational/ Engineering problems is to be submitted and each problem is to be properly labeled whether acceptable triangle is attained or not.

8. Do not leave out any questions unanswered. Answer all to the best of your knowledge.

9. Photographs are fine and enhance the clarity of your project, but a brief explanation of subject matter is necessary to assist the grader in identifying the photo.

10. Diagrams are most helpful and should be used when possible.11. Do not stow your sea project in your Luggage. Carry it in your hand baggage

to prevent possible loss. Remember if you do loss it will require considerable remedial work.

12. Do not copy other cadet sea projects. Copied material is soon forgotten. Your independent work will be remembered when needed most during licensing time.

13. A passing grade in al aspects of your sea project is a graduation requirement.14. Do not forget to submit your quarterly sea project to the office of shipboard

training in the Academy.

PMMA SHIPBOARD TRAINING PROGRAM

As part of the professional training, each cadet participates in a cooperative educational program consisting of a sea year of two phases of ten months plus two months aboard commercially operated merchant ships.

The first shall be a period of orientation followed by the first phase, second phase and the last month for review and polishing up. Each cadet generally trains on one vessel with the exception of certain companies. They thereby become familiar with the performance and the operating characteristics of various classes of ships and with the diverse operating requirements with different trade routes while at the same time gaining available practical experience in the performance of shipboard duties.

Shipboard duties consist of 8-hour shipwork and 2-4 hour watches daily, that ratings normally performed. In short they are primarily crew member first and third year BSMar-E students second. After their duties, cadets who pursue a BSMar-E correspondence course for at least 2 ½ hours daily.

The shipboard training program provides all cadets with the opportunity to use a ship as a sea going laboratory. Engine cadets are given a study guide called Sea Project and are required to complete written assignments which are submitted to the Academy for evaluation and grading. The assignments are carefully designed to ensure that, while aboard ship, cadet midshipmen apply the knowledge and skills learned in the Academy classrooms. But what is most important is for cadets to acquire a firm foundation for advanced study upon their return to PMMA.

Written Assignments cover the following areas:

Function 1- Marine Engineering SystemsFunction 2- Electrical, Electronic Control SystemFunction 3- Maintenance and RepairFunction 4- Engine Operations and Care for Person on Board

Note: Both Functions are covered for Sea Phase (phase 1 and phase 2)

7

Aboardship, BSMar-E cadets are assigned to the Engine Department or General Purpose crew duties.

Sea project assignments concentrate on subject matter appropriate to the cadet specialty. However, during the first phase of training, Engine cadets are required to complete assignment in the opposite departments to ensure the basic familiarity with all aspects of ship operation. Through counseling, the office of Shipboard Training can ensure the cadets assignments that will provide maximum exposure in the desired area of specialization during this cooperative program.

PMMA Training Representatives at New York, Los Angeles, New Orleans, Hamburg, Rotterdam, Yokohama, Singapore and from PMMA will board the cadets respective ships to monitor, guide cadets in their progress, conduct midterm and final examinations, maintain liaison and even board cadets if necessary.

The sea year is concluded with a de-briefing upon arrival to respective companies and another de-briefing from the office shipboard training at PMMA including sea year evaluation before enrolling as fourth year cadet. Each cadet is required to complete and submit following documents; Sea service in PRC form, SIRB, Sea project bookbinded, De-briefing form to be given a enrollment flowsheet for final evaluation at the Office of Shipboard Training through Engine Training Officer.

ENGINEERING SEA PROJECTMIDSHIPMEN- SECOND CLASS

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The Engineering Sea project is to be completed by you during your first sailing period or first phase. It is made up of several assignments covering various aspects of the engineering plant of ships which you have been assigned. Each assignment consists of a written report in which you describe a particular area, system, component, or operation. When writing each assignment, utilized your ship as a laboratory and make the necessary observations yourself. Your report will be a record of your own personal observations and the reports are to be in your own words based on practices of your assigned vessel. Do not copy instructions verbatim.

Before starting a work read the entire Marine Engineering assignment. You must take the initiative in this work. No one will assign this work to you or allot the time for it to be done. You will be completely on your own to complete this work as your responsibility. Take your time wisely.

From time to time you may need assistance in doing some parts. Properly approached, the ship’s engineers will often be helpful in clarifying engineering principles which may not be so easily understood. Remember, however, that these officers have their own work to perform and should usually be consulted only after you exhaust other sources of information. Also, each ship usually has a complete set of instruction books that may be available to you. Take every opportunity to get accurate information, but report it in your own words. In each case where you obtain material from some source other than your own observations, note and credit the source by an endnote. Do not copy from instructional manuals, but make each section as original as you can.

The attitude with which you approach these assignments will have a marked effect on your performance in your whole second class year and specially your first class year. You will be regularly called upon to answer questions upon your sea experience and sea project. You will be held directly responsible for each and every reading assignment you are given.

You must comply with the directions outlined in the paragraph of each assignment. The clarity, neatness, accuracy, and completeness of your presentation will all be reflected in your grade.

11

SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

1. SKETCHES: ALL Final ready for submission required system schematics must be accompanied by the original rough tracing that you performed in the engine room, on location. The rough sketch is to be placed directly behind (i.e., immediately following) the final. Good clean schematic.

2. You are encouraged to use simple sketches, wherever you desire to clarify the written material. Such sketches may be inserted and need not be put on the standard sheets. However, these small sketches do not take the place of required sketches.

3. No duplicated material is to be submitted. The only exceptions to the above are sketches or graphs submitted in addition to those required by the assignment.

4. All references must be listed at the end of each assignment. Endnotes must be included where necessary. References may include, in addition to the required textbooks, the following:a. Ships engineers and crewb. Personal observationsc. Ships literature and manualsd. Textbooks other than required textbooks
