The government responded by adding two departments, the Department of Nautical Technology and the Department of Marine Engineering Technology. The departments offered two-year programs for junior college graduates who had working experience at sea.
政府於是決定自七十四年度起，在海洋學院設立二年制航海技術系及輪機工程系，專門招收有海上工作經驗的專科畢業生。
