The Diploma in Marine Engineering (DMR) course is a 2-path programme that can award you with both a Diploma and the internationally recognized Certificate of Competency Class 5 Marine Engineering Officer qualification. This course covers multiple engineering disciplines such as mechanical, electrical and electronic, control, and naval architecture that are required to make a ship an independent movable power plant.
Besides lectures and laboratory work, students will be exposed to advanced ship engineering system simulators and various engineering software. With effect from Academic Year starting in April 2015, the DMR will be revamped into a 5 academic semesters + 1 internship semester.
The 6-month internship provides our students the special opportunity to apply their learning through either a sea-going or shore-based internship of their choice during the third year of study. Students taking the sea-going internship will also be able to clock their 6-month sea going time to be eligible for the Certificate of Competency Class 5 Marine Engineer Officer examination conducted by MPA, subject to fulfilling MPA’s requirements.
Students opting internship with the shore-based marine companies will also be better prepared to apply their learning from Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering Knowledge whether they are attached to a shipyard or engineering company.
The course curriculum is planned in consultation and with reference to the International Maritime Organisation model course 7.04, Officer in Charge of an Engineering Watch, and is approved by the Maritime and Port Authority of Singapore (MPA).
Course Highlights
Multi-disciplinary studies of engineering technology
Comprehensive learning experience through hands-on training using engine simulators and ship design software, enrichment talks, ship visits and industry exposure
Best of both worlds – the opportunity to opt for internship either on board motor ships or in the maritime offshore sector
Overview - Teaching And Learning
SP's approach to teaching and learning is not confined to any one particular approach or set of methods. It is committed to an eclectic research-based orientation for the design of learning (whether for classroom teaching or online learning).
At present, this comprises two interrelated frameworks - 'The Learning Framework' and 'The Creative Teaching Framework' - that teaching staff can use as they seek to design effective and creative learning experiences for our students.
What's exciting about SP's approach to teaching and learning is the commitment to incorporating established best research on human learning and validated effective practices. Furthermore, it seeks to be proactive in the sense of creatively extending knowledge and producing innovative practices.
Such work is not just confined to the department - all are invited to contribute to practical action research and be at the forefront of what it means to be a highly competent and creative teaching professional.
The ongoing efforts to mentor, guide, encourage and nurture students have seen our lecturers being accorded the President's Award for Teachers (PAT) in 2017, 2018 and 2020 - making SP the institution with the highest number of award recipients since 2017 when educators from polytechnics and ITEs were included in the PAT. The PAT recognises excellent educators for their role in moulding the future of our nation.

Enhanced Opportunities and Pathways
From Academic Year 2022 onwards, the polytechnics in Singapore will progressively implement a set of recommendations from MOE’s review on opportunities and pathways in applied education. The recommendations will better support the diverse needs and aspirations of our students, provide them with a more flexible and diverse curriculum to pursue their passions, and further strengthen their career readiness and competencies to thrive in the future economy.
In SP, we care about your well-being. As you journey through the ups and downs in SP, the SP Counselling Team is here to lend a listening ear when you need one.
What is counselling like?
Counselling in SP:
Gives you a safe time and place to talk to someone who won't judge you
Helps you make sense of things and understand yourself better
Helps you resolve complicated feelings, or find ways to live with them
Helps you recognise unhelpful patterns in the way you think or act, and find ways to change them (if you want to)
Aims to help you improve your well-being
The Diploma in Engineering (Marine) focuses on the foundation of marine engineering and learns the different range of subject deals with marine technology. The programme aim is to introduce the students on the concepts, methods, tools and techniques applied in marine engineering.
Marine engineering includes the engineering of boats, ships, oil rigs and any other marine vessel or structure, as well as oceanographic engineering. Specifically, marine engineering is the discipline of applying engineering sciences
This is a career development programme that prepares Singaporeans to join the maritime industry and pursue their aspirations as Marine Engineers onboard ocean-going ships.
