THE ENGINEERING ALPHABET: OCEAN
ENGINEERING
Ocean engineers direct the exploration and utilization
of the ocean's resources. Their work is closely tied
to petroleum and civil engineering. For example, ocean
engineers might focus attention on underwater oil or
gas exploration (petroleum engineering tasks), or they
might design structures such as offshore drilling platforms,
harbor facilities, and underwater machines (civil engineering
tasks).
