Ocean Engineering and Ocean Engineering Management
Ocean Engineering in DMES includes research in naval architecture and high-speed small-craft, corrosion and biofouling control, marine materials, ocean observing system design and integration, beach erosion, coastal structures and processes, environmental fluid mechanics, artificial reefs, hydrographic surveying, ocean energy, autonomous underwater vehicles, and marine and environmental instrumentation.
Ocean Engineering Management is part of the College of Engineering’s management curriculum, and in DMES is a science-based decision-making program highlighted by internships with government and non-governmental organizations, and industry.
