OCEAN ENGINEERING / APPLIED MARINE PHYSICS

Ocean engineering concerns engineering in the marine environment. The ocean engineer provides solutions compatible with mans need for utilization of marine resources on one hand and his concern for ecological balance on the other. The largest structures ever known, fixed or floating, now are fabricated at sea. Delicate and complex underwater systems are designed to resist the harshness of the ocean environment. Population centers and industrial developments are clustered along our shoreline creating a number of problems which need to be solved. All these aspects of ocean engineering offer challenge and opportunities.

The College offers an M.S. in Ocean Engineering. This degree is sponsored jointly by the College of Engineering and the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science.

Applied Marine Physics courses open to undergraduate students are listed under THE ROSENSTIEL SCHOOL OF MARINE AND ATMOSPHERIC SCIENCE elsewhere in this Bulletin.
