This book presents the principles covered by the DoT examination papers in Engineering Knowledge, Instruments and Control Systems for Masters (foreign-going). It also briefly revises the General Physics for Second Mate syllabus which is included in the Master's examination.

Although intended primarily for Masters, it will provide all deck and engineering officers and cadets with an understanding of basic engineering and control systems used on merchant vessels. It covers most of the BTEC requirements, as well as the National Diploma in Maritime Technology.
