Ocean Engineering (M.Eng.)
https://gradschool.unh.edu/program/meng/ocean-engineering
Programs in Ocean Engineering are by definition interdisciplinary and require students to interact with the ocean science community as well as the traditional engineering disciplines. In this context, students are exposed to the broad-based issues of working engineering problems in the ocean environment. They are trained to develop responsible solutions to problems that will lead to sustainable activity and life in the ocean. The Ocean Engineering M.Eng. degree includes both coursework and a M.Eng. project as a capstone experience.
Degree Requirements
The Master of Engineering in Ocean Engineering requires the completion of at least 30 graduate credits.
