Florida Institute of Technology

Ocean engineers study the world’s ocean environment using engineering expertise to analyze its effects on vessels and structures. They are involved in deep-sea exploration and projects such as designing and operating platforms or sub-surface vehicles.

A master’s in ocean engineering from Florida Tech provides students a multidisciplinary, hands-on program oriented toward the needs of industry. With its emphasis on basic engineering sciences, design, and modern engineering tools and methods, ours is one of the only graduate programs in the country that offers training in ocean engineering, naval architecture, oceanography, meteorology, environmental science, and coastal management.

Through hands-on fieldwork, students apply their understanding of civil, mechanical, electrical, and computer engineering to design and build solutions for complex marine environments.
