Talk:Engine officer

Need to change the title of the article

Hi, I am a university professor of marine engineering to a school that is training marine engineers. Our graduates rarely work on-board ship as engineering officers and I think it is very limited to consider marine engineers as exclusively those who work shipboard operating and maintaining a vessel's machinery.

Actually marine engineers can work as design engineers for shipyards or machinery and equipment manufacturers; as superintendent engineers of shipping companies, navies etc.; surveyors with classification societies; researchers with institutions, universities etc. and study for degrees even to doctoral level; government and military.

So "branding" marine engineers as professionals shipboard is misleading. My proposal is to change the article title so that it fixes that problem by pinpointing that seafaring officers is just one of the possible careers for marine engineers.

Here are some proposals for the new title and let me know if you need any additional info or supporting material:

Marine engineer (seagoing officer)

Marine engineer (seafaring officer)

Marine engineering officer

Thanks and best regards, Nick
