l Help the engineer officer plan and coordinate the training  of  junior  officers  of  the  engineering department. Division  Training  Officer The division officer usually assigns one of the junior division  officers  to  be  division  training  officer  as  a collateral  duty.  Otherwise,  the  division  officer  or assistant  division  officer  does  the  job.  The  division training officer reports to the division officer and works with  the  engineering  training  officer  and  ESO  to coordinate training. The division training officer has the following  duties: l l l l l l l l l Plan,  develop,  and  ensure  the  preparation  of division  training  schedules;  and  obtain  the training  space  and  materials  to  support  the schedules. Select  and  train  instructors  for  the  division. Review curriculum, courses, and lesson plans for the division; and supervise the preparation of training material. Obtain, hold custody of, and issue training aids and devices. Evaluate  all  instruction  within  the  division. Prepare, maintain, and submit division training records  and  reports. Initiate requisitions for division training supplies and materials. Encourage division personnel to attend naval schools and civilian institutions. Encourage   division   personnel   to   use   Navy correspondence   courses. Instructors All officers and petty officers in the engineering department must take an active part in the training program,  and  each  is  expected  to  be  a  competent instructor. The petty officers will provide most of the instruction.   However,   all   instructors   must   show competence in their specialties, and they must develop teaching  ability  through  training  and  experience. Assign  instructors  from  all  rates,  including  firemen, according to their ability to learn the subject and teach it. Take advantage of graduates of the Navy’s “C” school for instructors-use them both as instructors and as trainers of other instructors. TYPES OF TRAINING The  major  types  of  training  needed  in  the engineering department are indoctrination, military, professional,  and  leadership.  We’ll  discuss  each  of  these in the next paragraphs. Indoctrination Indoctrination  is  initial  familiarization  training given  to  all  officers  and  enlisted  personnel  when  they report on board. The purpose is to make them familiar with the regulations, organization, and layout of the ship and  the  department.  Indoctrination  may  include  some basic  military,  professional,  and  operational  training, depending on the needs of the individual and the type of ship. The time needed for indoctrination depends on the person’s rank or rate, previous service, and the ship’s training program as explained in the next paragraphs. Indoctrination  is  minimal  for  officers  and  enlisted personnel  with  shipboard  experience.  Standardized shipboard organization makes it unnecessary to hold more than a brief orientation toward new surroundings. Indoctrination for junior officers with less than 2 years of commissioned or warrant service should lay the groundwork  for  professional  and  operational  training  to assume  specific  duties  in  the  engineering  department and collateral duties in other parts of the ship. Indoctrination for firemen (FA, FN, and strikers) should include an orientation by the division in which the  person  will  work.  Acquaint  them  with  the equipment,   operating   principles,   and   operating procedures for the division as listed in the following paragraphs. l l l 3-5 Auxiliaries  division:  The  ship’s  distilling  plant, small boats, hydraulic systems, heating and air conditioning  systems,  machine  shop,  boat  engine repair shop, and galley and scullery equipment. Boilers division: Ship fueling procedures, the ship’s   boiler,   fireroom   auxiliaries,   fireroom safety  precautions,  and  boiler  feedwater  and feedwater  systems. Electrical  division:  Indications  of  trouble  in electrical   equipment   and   recommended procedures, shifting the electrical load, safety precautions,  portable  electric  tools,  electrical switchboards,  interior  communication  and
