Mastery: emerging (Level 1)(based on Short-Term Certificate)

International maritime regulations and life-saving equipment standards — identify and apply under direct supervision during ship compliance inspections at a commercial shipyard.
Basic hull and superstructure specifications — review and interpret under guidance to support preliminary design activities in a naval architecture office.
Stability and structural analysis data — collect and organize under supervision using analytical software tools on assigned vessel projects.
Design proposals and vessel characteristic data — gather and summarize with direction to support size, weight, and speed assessments for new craft.
Technical reports for engineering and management personnel — draft initial versions under close review using office suite and document management software.
CAD software and basic drafting tools — operate under supervision to produce standard hull geometry drawings in a marine design environment.
Automatic control and alarm systems on vessels — assist in routine checks and tests following established inspection protocols under senior engineer oversight.
Contractor and client correspondence — prepare routine written summaries and progress updates under guidance to support project communication workflows.
Spreadsheet and database software — use to enter, retrieve, and organize vessel performance and compliance data under direction in an engineering office.
Mathematics and physics principles — apply to introductory ship calculations such as displacement and draft estimation under the direction of a licensed marine engineer.
