Ocean Engineers have a wide range of employment opportunities worldwide. Because of the wide variety of work they are involved in and the difficulty to categories the field comprehensively, the Ocean Engineers are mainly related to engineering field as designers and construction supervisors, they also have scope in areas like Consultancy, Marketing and Sales, Operations, Regulation, Surveying and Overseeing, Research and Development, Education and Training, etc. The glory of University Departments where naval architecture was taught is getting faded. Oil price went down horribly, the chartering cost of ships went down. Many ships remain chartered or is being chartered on loss. Shipbuilding yards in India is not recruiting naval architects like before. Graduate Naval architects find it difficult to find good job these days. Small Design firms make use of this scenario and employ naval architects at meagre pay. Few years back, the placement percentage at Department of Ship Technology, Cochin University was 300% since, ie. There was a time when each student used to get 3 offers. Now it is considered lucky that somehow someone get one job offer there. Naval architecture graduates from IIT Kharagpur and Madras used to envy Naval architecture students of CUSAT. That kind of scenario will not come again in the nearby future.
