Abstract
A basic concept of marine engineers is that "marine engineers have to be able to make judgements at the time of incidents in the engine room with providing logical explanations to justify their choices". By using the basic concept, the relationship between the level of education for marine engineering at advanced maritime universities/faculties and the level of minimum requirements accredited with the revised STCW95 is discussed. Consideration to improve education and research for marine engineering in the near future is introduced in this paper. The author would also like to propose, from this comparative study, what the education and research for marine engineering at advanced maritime universities should be.
