Activities of teaching and learning:
Lectures, seminars, discussions, analysis of scientific and professional literature, case studies, problem solving, modeling, computerized teaching, individual or team projects, laboratory works, independent work, simulation of similar-to-real situations of work at sea in simulators and demonstration of practical skills, etc.
Methods of assessment of learning achievements:
Formative, cumulative and summative assessment methods are applied, such as an oral and written survey, colloquium, testing, mind and concepts maps, review of literature and information sources, case studies, portfolio approach, research work, course work, practice report, preparation and presentation of practical and individual works, demonstration of practical skills in simulators and laboratories, written and oral examination.
Students' achievements are evaluated at excellent, typical and threshold levels by assigning the grades of 10-grade system to certain levels, i.e. excellent (10 and 9), typical (8 and 7), and threshold (6 and 5). The final grade of the subject consists of cumulative assessment components, the percentage of which is determined in the description of the study subject.
Specialization: Operation of ship power equipment: studies are completed with the qualifying exam and public defense of the final thesis.
Specialization: Repair of ships and ship's propulsion power plants: atudies are completed with the public defense of the final thesis.

Distinctive features of a study programme:
The specialization of the study program "Operation of ship's power equipment" is the only one study programme in marine engineering field in the Lithuania that meets the International Maritime Organization Convention STCW standards. Completion of this programme and collecting of 12 months of mixed practice during the studies, of which 6 months consist of working on board of vessels, giving the right to obtain the Certificate of Competency of officers in charge of engineering watch, issued by the Maritime Department of the Lithuanian Transport Safety Administration.
The practice is performed in the 2nd and 3rd years. During the internship professional skills are acquired while working on various types of marine vessels (container carriers, dry bulk carriers, tankers, etc.) in various sailing regions around the world.
During the studies students are given the opportunity to acquire the qualification of motorman.
Graduates of the specialization “Repair of ships and ship's energy equipment" acquire the competence of a highly qualified ship repair specialist, engineer, which provides the opportunity to get a job in the shipyards and related industry sectors in the country and abroad.
Faculties: Physical Training, Rowing, Junior Officer Commanders course of the Lithuanian Naval Forces.
Students who have successfully completed the courses of Junior staff officers of the Lithuanian Armed Forces Naval Forces acquire the rank of reserve officer and the qualification of combat unit commander.
