Graduate Certificate in Coastal and Oceanographic Engineering


Program Description

The objective of this program, overseen jointly by the College of Engineering and the Department of Marine Sciences, is to foster a theoretical and practical understanding of marine and engineering systems. Students successfully completing the certificate will have demonstrated: - In-depth knowledge in selected areas of engineering and marine sciences - The ability to integrate knowledge from engineering and marine sciences - The ability to conduct original research in the marine environment This cross-disciplinary program offers three broad focus areas, to be aligned with the graduate students’ research projects. Focus area Fluid Dynamics & Hydrology emphasizes the measurement and/or numerical modeling of near-shore and coastal processes; Instrumentation focuses on marine instrumentation deployment and sensor development; Ecological and Energy Engineering encompasses topics ranging from marine energy production to abiotic and biotic energy cycling.
