Ocean Workforce Knowledge and Skill Guidelines
Knowledge and Skill Guidelines defining marine technical occupations, plus the International ROV Curriculum Project for ROV technician education.
Description
When MATE was founded in 1997, a major task of the MATE Center was to define marine occupations and the skills needed to perform them. The result was a set of Knowledge and Skill Guidelines (KSGs) used to build education programs for the ocean workforce.
Knowledge and Skill Guidelines
KSGs cover roles including operational marine forecaster, oceanographic instrumentation technician, ROV technician, hydrographic survey technician, research vessel marine technician, aquarist and aquaculture technician.
International ROV Curriculum Project
Outlined in 2014 with more than 20 industry and education representatives, it defines competencies for a year-long foundational curriculum (electronics, mechanics, hydraulics, robotics, computer-controlled systems) and a second-year ROV technology certificate or degree covering sonar navigation, tether management, ROV tools, oil and gas operations, video logging and piloting.
