Can any recent graduate or current midshipman tell me what the current engineering courses offered at Kings point are.
Not either of the above but here's what's listed on their website.

Wow.
I can not explain why/how the "Dual License" program is still up there. At this point even the "Shopper Program" with a Deck Officer License and Engineering QMED is gone. Here is a link to the (122 page) 2011-2012 catalog. Even that might be questionable:

I would recommend calling admissions to ask about any specific programs in that catalog if you are interested in them.

Engineering Program
USMMA2016 - The engineering program has three majors, 1 - straight engineers, Systems Engineers (design oriented ), and Marine Engineering and Shipyard Management engineers. Systems and MESM are accredited by the accreditation board of engineering technology (ABET) and consequently have a more rigorous program than that of the straight engineers. That said the ABET majors need to have a minimum GPA plebe year to qualify. The ABET programs also require a capstone project be completed senior year. The MESM student also are required to work in a shipyard internship for a couple of months during their second sailing period, many consider this to be a big plus because the second sailing is 8 months long. Dual and Shopper programs have been discontinued.
