MARKERS REPORT FORM


PART I

SUBJECT: 041-36 STCW First Class Engineer Motor Engineering Knowledge

DATE: 17th July 2016

General Comments on Examination Paper


A reasonable set of exam scripts but some candidates still do not appear to read the questions properly and so do
not answer the question as asked. Some handwriting is very difficult to read

General Comments of Specific Examination Questions

Question 1. A number of candidates concentrated on a combined steam/gas turbine electrical generation system
which was asked in a previous paper; they wasted time and did not look at the question asked with reference to
waste heat steam systems.

Question 2. A number of candidates produced an essay and did not write a report.

Question 3. Similar to Question 2, some candidates did not write the answer in the form of a report..

Question 4. Very few candidates attempted this question which was a new topic. Those that did described a 4-
stroke dual fuel engine which means that they either did not read the question or did not know the difference
between 2-stroke and 4-stroke engines.

Question 5. Question generally answered well but some candidates were too brief in their descriptions for the
marks available.

Question 6.Question answered reasonably well.

Question 7..Not too many candidates attempted this question and many of those that did seemed not to appreciate
that EGR aims at changing the specific heat of the gas in the cylinder so that more heat is required to raise the
temperature; many answers referred to less oxygen being present. Some candidates described selective catalytic
reduction so there is some confusion

Question 8.

Question 9
