SAŽETAK:

One of the most important tools for maritime student education is the use of simulators, which provide practical instruction under controlled conditions. This article analyzes the behavior of Marine Engineering students at the Faculty of Maritime Studies in Split and their progress in knowledge and practice achieved through training in the Kongsberg Engine Room Simulator. The research was conducted by the instructors of the Kongsberg training simulator with the students of the third (last) year of the undergraduate study of Maritime Engineering. The progress was observed during the last semester of their studies on the practical problem of manual parallel connection of diesel generators. The obtained results clearly show that the training on the simulator helped the students to combine the learned theory from several subjects into one complex and that this happens gradually during the training.
