Over a span of 40 years, we have developed a top-rated Ocean Engineering program at Florida Atlantic University. We offer BS, MS and PhD degree programs in Ocean engineering and take pride in our faculty's committment to excellence in teaching and research. Our Undergraduate Program is 120 students strong and offers a multidisciplinary education in engineering as it pertains to our activities in the oceans. Our Graduate Program is 40 students strong and offers specialization in acoustics, autonomous underwater vehicles, hydrodynamics and physical oceanography, and marine materials. The Department operates over dual campuses, from the original Boca Raton campus and from the Dania Beach campus, which is the primary home of SeaTech, our ocean-side Institute for Ocean and Systems Engineering. Most of our research is funded by federal agencies and industry and we strive to make new partnerships with government and industry in research and education. Our programs are demanding, requiring total commitment and a one hundred percent effort from the student. Our goal is to provide an exciting and a student-friendly educational environment and prepare outstanding individuals who will lead engineering endeavors in a challenging ocean environment. We actively help students with meaningful summer internships and with career placements upon graduation. Please browse through these pages for details of our programs and activities.
