On ships Engineers have to run the huge AC plant and also 3 freezer rooms ( meat/ fish/ vegetable rooms ).
It is so easy to find out who are the " pretender motormen " OR " glorified fitters" , in the garb of Marine engineers and earning good wages without knowing a dang thing when it comes to refrigeration.
The following is a SELF EXAMINER questionnaire .
If you are marine engineer at sea, find out what you are worth.
When you go on your next ship , casually ask some of these questions to your Chief Engineer or Tech Superintendent to find out what he is worth--
-- be prepared to be surprised-- nay --shell shocked!
At sea you are only respected for what you are worth! A donkey on a throne is still a donkey!!
Grading:
Correct- plus two marks
Wrong - minus one marks
Did not attempt- minus two marks
Time allowed- 39 minutes
If you score less than 20% marks -- you are NOT an engineer.
