Shipping approved three year (Two years in Institute and one year onboard) course of Alternate Training Scheme for Marine Engineers. I teach two subjects namely, Marine Technology and Naval Architecture. Presently, the academy conducts custom designed value added courses for some shipping companies. I have been doing the new course designs as well as conducting these courses for shipping companies as per their requirements. I also carry out some research work on finding green energy resources for ships to reduce the greenhouse gases and in non conventional energy exploitation from oceans as well as from sun.

Being from the marine field, I understand better the harsh conditions at sea. This helps me design of the equipment for energy exploration from oceans.

I have written a book on “ Marine Engineering Knowledge” during the course of this time which is well received by Trainees as well as those appearing for Class IV part B.

During this period, I was also involved with a U.K. based marine engineers course (HND) and my suggestions for changes in their U.K. based syllabus were well received and incorporated by Parent College (Glasgow College of Nautical Sciences). I am well versed in course designing.
