Abstract

This research explores the integration of emerging technologies, specifically IT, IoT, and computer-based learning, in maritime engineering and education. The study examines how these technologies enhance operational efficiency, sustainability, and the learning experience for maritime professionals and students. By gathering insights from maritime professionals and educators, the research identifies the challenges and opportunities associated with the adoption of these technologies. Findings indicate a strong understanding and partial implementation of IT and IoT in maritime operations, with positive impacts on vessel management, predictive maintenance, and operational efficiency. However, challenges remain in infrastructure, cost, and regulatory integration. In maritime education, computer-based learning tools such as virtual simulations and e-learning platforms have improved learning outcomes, yet limitations in resources, instructor training, and technology resistance hinder full implementation. The research emphasizes the importance of collaboration between the maritime industry and educational institutions to ensure effective integration of these technologies in both operational and educational contexts. The study provides valuable insights into enhancing maritime education and operations through technology, offering recommendations for overcoming current challenges and advancing the industry towards sustainability and efficiency.
