OCEAN ENGINEERING/APPLIED MARINE PHYSICS
Ocean Engineering concentrates on problems associated with the interaction
of the ocean and the works of man.
A. The ocean engineer combines competence as an engineer with both
a practical experience in and theoretical understanding of the ocean.
B. The Ocean Engineering program, offered jointly with the Rosenstiel
School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, is intended to lay the foundation
of this competence, experience and understanding.
C. The areas of faculty specialization in this program include coastal
engineering, off-shore engineering, underwater acoustics, ocean measurements,
marine geotechnics, and naval hydrodynamics.
The Master of Science degree in ocean engineering is offered jointly
with the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.
A. In addition, Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees
in applied marine physics are offered by the Rosenstiel School of
Marine and Atmospheric Science.
B. See APPLIED MARINE PHYSICS/OCEAN ENGINEERING under RSMAS elsewhere
in this Bulletin for information on the applied marine physics.
An approved interdisciplinary program is required for the M.S. degree
in ocean engineering which consists of a minimum of 30 credits at
the graduate level with an average grade of B or better and no grade
below C.
A. The 30 credits are divided among 24 credits in courses and six
credits for thesis research.
B. At least nine of the required credits must be 600 level courses.
500 level courses are open to advanced undergraduates and
to graduate students; 600 level courses are open only to graduate
students.
