NMCI student training survey for ABs and engineers in Cork Harbour. NMCI student training for ABs and engineers. This project is to allow exposure of undergraduate students at the National Maritime College of Ireland (NMCI) to the experience of shipboard operations in a controlled environment prior to their sea phase training. These students will encompass the three main degree courses at the NMCI (Nautical Science, Marine Engineering and Marine Electrotechnical). The experience will add a valuable practical aspect to their academic modules, using a modern sea going vessel.
