ABSTRACT

Evaluation is an important aspect of Engine Room Simulator (ERS) training. It provides the means to determine the student’s abilities. The evaluation method is used to monitor and evaluate the results of a training session. Evaluation method must be as easy as possible and objective evaluation should be performed.

We have created a new evaluation method that has different sheets, curves and etc. The evaluation sheet represents the degree of achievement of operation and the time to the degree of achievement. It is important to divide all operation procedures into suitable steps and to decide necessary time pertinently for the operation. These steps are made into the scale of the degree of achievement.

This paper describes the training method and the evaluation method, which are applied for different types of ERS training. Also, the authors discuss the feasibility of the use of the ERS to establish higher level skills of trainee, such as plant operation management, risk management, team management, and "internal" and "external" communication.
