Program

Bachelor Degree in Marine and Offshore Engineering (160 Cr. Hr.)

Objectives

  • This course introduces the fundamental principles and applications of coastal engineering, focusing on wave mechanics, coastal processes, and the design of coastal and offshore structures. Students will gain the ability to understand and analyze wave behavior, tidal fluctuations, storm surges, and coastal water-level changes. The course also covers wave prediction models, wave–structure interactions, sediment transport, shoreline dynamics, and environmental considerations such as oil spill control. By the end of the course, students will be able to evaluate various coastal structures, interpret wave data, apply numerical modeling tools, and propose effective solutions for shoreline protection and coastal management.
