The paper presents the system of evaluation of education currently in force in Poland. In order to standardize the quality of education in all the courses and in all of the higher education institutions the State Accreditation Committee was founded in the present form in 2002. There were prepared criteria that include the issues associated to assuring the adequate conditions of studying as far as the didactic base is concerned, teaching staff, didactic programmes (included the fulfilling the basic programme minimum), organization of the didactic process, etc. The Maritime University of Gdynia educates and trains the specialist for working at sea. Thus far, the didactic system must meet the requirements not only of the SAC (typic al for a technical university) but also of the STCW convention that imposes adequate requirements as far as the subjects, number of hours, periods and subjects of practical training, etc. is concerned. For the graduates that will work at sea, the problems of meeting criteria of education were presented taking Faculty of Marine Engineering of the Maritime University of Gdynia as an example the, which prepares students in the course of Mechanics and Machine Building and prepares graduates for the work at sea as mechanic officer of merchant marine. The paper presents Medium Speed Engine Room Full Mission Simulator. The simulator has been developed based on cutting-edge solutions currently used in medium-sized, computer controlled engine rooms (one four-stroke type main engine with a reduction gear and controllable pitch propeller). This kind of computer controlled engine room is typically in use on modern container ships.
