The areas covered include: (1) administrative and operational functions of the engineering department; (2) various laws and phenomena of nature related to engineering fundamentals; (3) principles and types of ship propulsion; (4) areas of operation in basic steam cycles; (5) operating principles of boilers; (6) components of the steam turbines and reduction gears; (7) location and function of auxiliary machinery and equipment; (8) measurement instruments; (9) pumps, valves, and piping; (10) different shipboard electrical equipment; (11) internal combustion engines; and (12) engineering watches and duties. A glossary of engineering terms and the metric system are appended and an index is included. A series of six assignments is provided in the NRCC to assist the student through the training manual.
