Master of Science - Ocean Engineering

Program Description

Florida Atlantic University's (FAU) the Department of Ocean and Mechanical Engineering offers an extensive Master of Science degree program in Ocean Engineering with the aim of preparing individuals for engineering challenges to working in the ocean environment.

Specialization in specific Ocean Engineering programs is offered through in-depth studies in the areas of Acoustics, Signal processing, Materials and Corrosion, Marine structures, Marine Hydrodynamics and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles.

This program is structured around a core of courses central to ocean engineering and encompassing the subjects of acoustics, corrosion, physical oceanography, hydrodynamics, advanced mechanics of materials, marine systems and advanced mathematics. This core provides, at an advanced level, the fundamentals required for engineering work in the ocean environment. Additional courses in the fields of acoustics, hydrodynamics, marine materials, offshore structures, coastal engineering and marine vehicles are offered to enable students to pursue areas of interest. A summer program is offered by the department for graduate students attending on a year-round basis.

Important Note: Florida Atlantic University will charge a $30 USD application fee, but this fee will be paid by students on their own at the post submission stage.
