Maritime Science
The RFISD Maritime program of study introduces students to the occupations and education opportunities related to operating water vessels, maintenance procedures, maritime navigational aids, plus maritime traffic controls, and communications equipment to ensure conformance with federal safety regulations.
Students in Shipboard Engineering will learn the functions, troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair of the systems and components of maritime engines such as outboards, and portable dewatering pumps. In addition, students will receive instruction in safety, emergency procedures, and shipboard auxiliary systems.
Students will also be able to launch, operate, recover, and maintain a boat on their own. They will be provided opportunities to speak to local Captains, Deckhands, and Marine Engineers and bring the class to see the industry at work. Students have an opportunity for after-school, weekend, and summer internships.
