PREPARING FOR OUR FUTURE OCEAN PRESENCE - OCEAN ENGINEERING AT THE UNITED-STATES NAVAL ACADEMY

The ocean engineering curriculum at the U.S. Naval Academy provides our future Naval officers with a rigorous engineering program that uniquely qualifies them to meet the technic challenges created by the sea environment. Coupled with an intensive regimen of professional training in the classroom and at sea, the Naval Academy midshipmen are faced with a challenge that few college students will ever face. Although the program is designed specifically for developing future Naval officers, the basic approach is valid for any engineering school. The discipline, leadership training, and academic foundation that they receive prepare them for a lifetime of challenges in the inevitable resurgence of national interest in deep ocean technology.
