Ocean Engineering

All ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapps wishing to study this major should apply to General Engineering.

Ocean engineering deals with the design of ships of all types. The field is often called naval architecture. It involves fluid mechanics, propulsion, structures, vehicle dynamics, and marine engineering. The curriculum culminates in an international award-winning design sequence in which ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapps design a complete ship.

The program is closely related to aerospace engineering, and the two programs share a major portion of their course requirements. A double aerospace and ocean engineering major is available to ¼â½ÐÊÓÆµapps desiring this combination.
