Ocean Engineering
Ocean engineering addresses the design of off-shore and near-shore structures; design of high-speed ocean vehicles; study of oceanic and coastal zone processes.
The ultimate objective of the program is to provide aspiring engineers in the above fields with the required strong background in the basic principles, and sufficient familiarity with up-to-date computational techniques which are directly applicable to the design or assessment of engineered systems.
Several courses are offered in the program, including:
- Boundary element methods
- Computational fluid mechanics
- Design of offshore structures
- Dynamic response of structures
- Environmental fluid mechanics
- Finite element methods
- Fluid/structure interactions
- Introduction to ocean and coastal engineering
- Modeling of turbulent flows
- Physical oceanography
- Principles of hydrodynamics
- Soil/structure interactions
