Course Overview

Course philosophy

Upper Cape Cod Technical School’s marine service technology program teaches students technical level skills that lead to a range of marine technology careers in both the public and private sectors. The field of marine service technology involves many areas of study that include the scientific and technical principles of marine gas and diesel engines and other marine vessel systems including mechanical, electrical and hydraulic systems. Throughout the program at Upper Cape Tech, students work in a marine shop laboratory setting that provides authentic workplace experiences and develops skill sets in the use of technical manuals, tools, and equipment commonly employed in marine service work. Major topics addressed in the program (grades 10–12) include:

Engine performance
Engine repair
Ignition systems
Electrical/electronic systems
Precision measurement
Fiberglass repair
Refrigeration and cooling
Marine and occupational safety

related business and industry expectations

There are a wide variety of career options in marine service technology. Positions range from private repair-related services to parts and supply specialist positions or even management or sales. Students in Upper Cape’s marine service technology program complete laboratory instruction and classroom theory content that supports the potential for matriculation into marine industry related careers or postsecondary education at a technical college. The following organizations provide industry awareness and career exploration resources for marine service technology programs.
