This study uses Quality Function Deployment (QFD) to investigate students' requirements of professional competence requirements in shipping related industries. A factor analysis was employed to identity professional courses into four constructs: basic core curriculum, marine and air transportation management, international trade processes and administration, language proficiency. Quality Function Deployment was applied to these four constructs and the professional competencies associated with shipping, to transform the needs of students into the professional competencies required by industry. House of Quality (HOQ) was used to determine the priority for implementing possible solutions of employees' professional competencies. Results indicated that the Department of Shipping and Transportation needs to improve the following five courses: Shipping English, Business English, Tramp Shipping Operations, Marine Insurance, and Liner Shipping Operations. |
