The BSOE program equips students with a robust engineering foundation, readying them for professional engineering roles or advanced studies. It begins with essential courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry, and engineering computing, complemented by seminars and oceanography classes that introduce ocean engineering. Students enhance their engineering skills through coursework and lab work centered on analysis, experimentation, and design, advancing to specialized topics like ocean instrumentation, wave and tide dynamics, ocean structure design, coastal engineering, ocean measurements, and underwater acoustics. The curriculum includes at least four technical electives, enabling students to deepen expertise in their chosen field. The program culminates in a two-semester senior capstone design project. Options are available for dual majors or minors in environmental, electrical, or mechanical engineering, oceanography, international affairs, sustainability, or marine biology.
This degree is designed for those aiming to tackle ocean-related engineering problems by exploring future technologies, infrastructure demands, and exploration methods for evolving environments. It readies graduates for industry or government careers and lays the groundwork for postgraduate education. The program stresses core ocean engineering principles while providing interdisciplinary chances for concentrated study in civil, electrical, environmental, or mechanical engineering and marine sciences.
Each student must have their official high school diploma or general equivalency diploma.
