- "Coastal engineering is a branch of civil engineering concerned with the specific demands posed by constructing at or near the coast, as well as the development of the coast itself."
Focuses on the design, development, and operation of maritime transportation infrastructure, including ports, harbors, and waterways.
Naval Architecture: The design and construction of ships and other waterborne vessels including their hulls, propulsion systems, and stability.
Marine Engineering: The design, operation, and maintenance of the mechanical and electrical systems on board ships and other waterborne vessels.
Shipbuilding: The process of constructing a ship, including the design, materials, and construction techniques used.
Oceanography: The study of the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the ocean and its ecosystems.
Marine Navigation: The process of planning and directing the movement of a ship or other waterborne vessel from one location to another.
Maritime Law: The body of law that governs maritime activities and the relationships between ship owners, crew members, and other stakeholders.
Marine Ecology: The study of the relationships between marine organisms and their environment, including interactions with other species and adaptations to changes in the ecosystem.
Port and Harbor Engineering: The design and construction of ports and harbors, including the planning of shipping channels, berths, and cargo handling facilities.
Marine Renewable Energy: The use of renewable energy technologies in the maritime industry, including tidal, wave, and wind energy.
Marine Pollution: The contamination of the ocean and its ecosystems by human activity, including oil spills, litter, and chemical pollutants.
