7.2.11 Ocean Engineering

You are here: Home / Graduate Handbook / 7.2.11 Ocean Engineering

If Ocean Engineering represents the major of your PhD study, you must take at least 5 200- series courses in the core and recommended lists, which must include ME 240A, ME 240B and two from ME 241A, ME 241B, ME 245. Undergraduate backgroung equivalent to at least two courses of ME 164, 165 and 168 is assumed.

Selection of other courses not listed can be done with the approval of the Major Field Advisor and the Vice Chair for Graduate Study. You should prepare a written justification of your selection.

If Ocean Engineering represents a minor of your PhD study, you must take at least 2 courses in the core list, which should include ME 240A, ME 240B or ME 241A or ME 241B. You may not double-count courses towards both the major and the minor requirements.
