INFO FOR OCEAN ENGINEERING

Ocean Engineering:  

Ocean Engineering is a relatively new field and has strong connections to Marine Engineering.  Ocean Engineers are concerned with ocean exploration (development and use of submersible vehicles); ocean structures, such as deep-water drilling platforms; wave action on beaches docks, buoys, moorings, and harbors; underwater pipelines; pollution control in ocean sand estuaries; and resource recovery.  This is an interdisciplinary field that requires a fluent knowledge of oceanography, hydrodynamics, soil mechanics, corrosion, materials science, and structures.
