Dr. Shu Dai, a former ocean engineering doctoral student, investigated the methodology of floating offshore wind turbines – specifically predicting power, wind speeds and blade fatigue – to correct inaccuracies in the current statistical models for short-term wind processes.
A senior capstone design group from Texas A&M University at Galveston has started working on their project to design a floating rocket launch and landing platform inspired by the vision of the SpaceX program’s reusable space vessels.
With employees' lives and a company’s costs at risk, it’s imperative for engineers to design offshore structures with materials that can withstand the hazardous environment of the ocean. Dr. Marcelo Paredes is researching how corrosion affects high entropy alloys, and is developing two of these distinct alloys.
The world is connected by oceans. The world is protected by ocean engineers. Our uncompromising vision is to establish an ocean engineering program that is a pioneer in modern curriculum, an innovator of education techniques, and a leader in key established/emerging research/technology areas.
The Department of Ocean Engineering is jointly hosted on Texas A&M University's College Station and Galveston campuses, combining the world-class resources and location of each to provide students a unique educational experience.
Employment opportunities exist within private industry, defense contractors, consulting firms, and government agencies. See where an ocean engineering degree can take you.
