Why Ocean Engineering at Florida Tech?
We don’t just create engineers here; we prepare our students for real world problems by providing real world, interdisciplinary understanding and experience. The ocean engineering curriculum places emphasis on the solution of engineering problems through the application of advanced knowledge that spans various disciplines. Our program is based in five areas of concentration: coastal engineering, hydrographic engineering, marine vehicles (Naval Architecture), marine materials and corrosion, and underwater technology. The ocean engineering faculty works closely with the faculties of oceanography and environmental science within the department, and with other programs throughout the university. This enables the ocean engineering students to undertake interdisciplinary research in the environmental and oceanographic sciences, and also in fundamental aspects of ocean engineering.
