Bachelor of Engineering (Ocean Science Engineering)
University
Ocean Systems Engineering is a new and exciting branch of engineering focusing on estuaries, coastal seas, continental shelves and the deep ocean.
Engineers trained in Ocean Systems will use their knowledge of coastal and continental shelf areas to design sustainable management strategies to maintain the ecological health of these systems in the face of nutrient enrichment, climate change, selective extraction of elements of the food chain and dispersion of pollutants.
This degree will provide you with fundamental theoretical knowledge in the physical, chemical and biological sciences and training in the practical linkage of these disciplines in the ocean. The degree also trains you in engineering, scientific, technical, computer software, communication, economic, legal, social and political skills. You will complete an applied ocean science design project and work in groups to prepare an environmental management plan in conjunction with the community.
