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).
