The basic program offered by the department is designed for students interested in engineering aspects of ocean sciences, ocean exploration, and the utilization of the oceans for transportation, defense, and resources. The program leads to the Bachelor of Science in Ocean Engineering or without designation of field. The curriculum without designation of field permits pursuit of broader marine-related interests. Graduates are prepared for work in industry or government, or for further study in graduate school. These broad objectives are further defined and linked to the outcomes for students who successfully complete the program. These objectives are periodically reviewed and revised to reflect new requirements. Feedback from students, alumni and industry are encouraged.
All Course XIII undergraduates take the same required subjects in mathematics, science, and engineering fundamentals, along with subjects fulfilling the General Institute Requirements. Some departmentally prescribed subjects may be replaced by other subjects if such substitutions enhance student objectives. The elective program consists of two parts: planned electives, which are designed to meet the student's Course objective, and unrestricted electives, which permit further study in specialized areas or a broadening of the student's overall educational experience. Courses are defined to insure that students will achieve the desired outcome and meet the program objectives. The content and sequence for an undergraduate program is determined to satisfy these objectives. As with the program objectives, feedback is encouraged.
The department offers counseling to students wishing to use some combination of planned and unrestricted electives for environmental studies. Such a course of study is similar to the other four-year MIT programs, supplemented with elective studies, that prepare students for environmentally related work.
The Course XIII program leading to the Bachelor of Science in Ocean Engineering is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
