MIT's Ocean Engineering

MIT's Ocean Engineering program focuses on designing, analyzing, and managing technologies for exploring and working in maritime environments. It covers areas like underwater vehicles, offshore structures, marine renewable energy, and ocean observing systems. Students learn to solve complex problems related to the ocean’s physical properties, environmental challenges, and safety concerns. The program combines principles from engineering, fluid dynamics, materials science, and environmental science to develop innovations that support sustainable use of ocean resources, scientific research, defense, and marine operations, preparing graduates to advance technology and solutions for the world’s oceans.
