Ocean engineering is a multidisciplinary technological field focused on the marine environment, integrating elements of civil, mechanical, and electrical engineering with naval architecture and applied oceanography. Students pursuing an ocean engineering degree acquire essential skills in chemistry, mathematics, and physics, while developing comprehensive understanding of coastal dynamics, marine systems, and design methodologies. Whether aspiring to be a naval architect or to innovate solutions for coastal erosion prevention, such as designing jetties and seawalls, Florida Tech's ocean engineering program provides a solid engineering foundation combined with hands-on experience in environmental science and instrumentation.
