为了适应高等职业技术教育船舶工程技术、船机制造与维修、船舶动力装置等专业的教学改革的需要，丁晓梅、蒋更红编写了《船机专业英语》教材。

本教材以职业岗位能力培养为核心，紧扣现代造船技术发展的节奏，选取的内容力求全面，且具有代表性，涵盖了从船舶基本知识、船用设备、船舶建造、船厂经营到船舶交付出厂的整个过程。本教材将课程内容分成三个学习模块，分别是：模块1船体、模块2船舶机械及模块3船舶建造。每个模块由不同的学习任务组成，模块结尾都附有“能力提升”，其目的是将该模块的知识点再进行提炼与总结，以培养学生对船舶行业生产实际的认知能力和实际应用能力。

《船机专业英语》为浙江省“十一五”重点建设教材，由丁晓梅、蒋更红编写。全书包括三个学习模块，分别是：模块1船体、模块2船舶机械及模块3船舶建造。每个模块由不同的学习任务组成，全书共计21个学习任务；模块结尾附有“能力提升”，其目的在于培养学生对船舶行业生产实际的认知能力和实际应用能力。书中涉及的词汇较多，除了文中出现的专业词汇外，为扩大学生现有的词汇量，还专门增设了与课文内容相关的额外的技术术语和表达方法。

《船机专业英语》强调实用性，不仅有船机专业知识，同时也涉及船厂的生产、经营方面的内容。本书可作为高等职业教育船舶工程技术、船机制造与维修、船舶动力装置等专业的教学用书，还可供相关专业技术人员学习参考。
