The design and implementation of training system for Engineers´ automatic Engine Room Control

According to the requirements of the World Maritime Organization STCW Convention, the training of seamen for practical operation was strengthened. Access with VISUAL BASIC and database technology, we developed a simulation system for Engineers´ Automatic Engine Room Control training. In the teaching process, teachers use pictures, animation-based video and multimedia PPT presentations as the main teaching material, and students can review by themselves with the help of this software. This system not only reduces the workload of teachers, but also overcome the lack of equipment. And the system significantly improved the efficiency of their learning.
