This paper outlines the specifications of ITUMF simulator and provides a progress report on the recent improvements in the marine engineering education curricula, which includes lessons learned from the early development stages and integration into the marine engineering curricula. This highly integrated simulator-based education and training system has been ramping-up to full operation to provide integrated individual and team training in the marine engineering professional courses. An important element of simulator use in the curricula has been focus on the compliance with STCW-95 competency evaluation requirements. In order to achieve an integrated education and training process classroom briefings, workstation guided exercises with checklists concept, and full-mission ERS are utilized. Current ITUMF ERS courses aim to develop knowledge and skills of senior level ITUMF students on the regular operation, watchkeeping, and malfunction detection of engine room machinery and systems. With the cooperation of Japanese International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and Istanbul Technical University Maritime Faculty (ITUMF), ERS of ITUMF was installed in June 2001 and ERS based courses were integrated into the marine engineering curricula. For example, Model Course 2.07 subjects are not clearly defined for management level of training. IMO Model Course is so general that needs to be modified with available functions and systems of the ERS as well as according to the use of the ERS for the purpose of the course. ABSTRACT The Engine Room Simulator (ERS) course design is initially established as a parallel to the updated version of IMO Model Course 2.07.
