NAVEDTRA 14075 Ch. 2 — Training

By the time you have reached the E-5 or E-6 level, you have acquired many skills and a large amount of theoretical knowledge. Among other things, you have learned about— Construction details, operating principles, and operating characteristics of all types of naval propulsion plants and associated engineroom auxiliary machinery; propulsion plant layout and piping system arrangement; theory of combustion, theory of energy transformations, and factors governing engineroom and fireroom efficiency; nature and theory of engineroom operations; operational troubleshooting; engineering casualty control; engineroom maintenance and repair; characteristics of metals and alloys; tests and inspections of main engines; characteristics and tests of lube oil; and records, reports, and other administrative…

You must be technically competent before you can teach others, but your technical competence must be supplemented by the ability to organize information, to present it effectively, and to arouse and keep the interest of your trainees. You will find excellent general information on how to plan, carry out, and evaluate an instructional program in Military Requirements for Petty Officer 3 & 2, NAVEDTRA 10056 (current edition) and in Military Requirements for Petty Officer 1 & C, NAVEDTRA 10057 (current edition). The present discussion does not include basic information of the type given in these references; instead, it deals with some of the difficulties peculiar to the training of engineroom and auxiliary personnel and some of the ways in which you can overcome or minimize these difficulties…

the individual can qualify as an engineroom watchstander on your ship. No two enginerooms are precisely alike in all details, and no two main engines that appear to be identical behave in precisely the same way under all conditions. Each engine has its own individuality, and operating personnel must adjust to the engine in order to obtain the best results. Practically all Enginemen learn this sooner or later; you can speed up the learning process by encouraging engineroom personnel to notice and to discuss differences between engines. Because of the necessity for strict observance of safety precautions, all engineroom operational training must be rigidly controlled and supervised. On-the-job training is necessary if an individual is to acquire the actual skills needed for main engine opera…

NAVEDTRA 14075 Ch. 3 — Engine Maintenance

Keeping an internal combustion engine (diesel or gasoline) in good operating condition demands a well-planned procedure of periodic inspection, adjustments, maintenance, and repair. If inspections are made regularly, many malfunctions can be detected and corrected before a serious casualty results. A planned maintenance program will help to prevent major casualties and the occurrence of many operating troubles. The Maintenance and Material Management (3-M) System provides a logical and efficient approach to many maintenance problems. It produces a large reservoir of information about equipment disorder and indicates what corrective steps must be taken to prevent them. Another aspect that must be considered in connection with maintenance problems is the safety requirement aboard ship. On so…
