Marine vs Ocean Engineering as a degree
Marine vs Ocean Engineering as a degree
(OP)
Looking at going to school originally for marine engineering/naval arch, while looking at different schools came across ocean engineering. After looking at the curriculum, I don't see a glaring difference. Looking for anyone in the industry to comment on any big differences. Not looking for suggestions on schools. Thanks

Q: What is the difference between Naval Architecture and Ocean Engineering?
A: There are many similarities between the two majors - most importantly, they are both engineering majors that deal with engineering in the ocean. However, the two majors also differ from each other in content. Naval Architecture deals with the design of ships and ship systems. Ocean Engineering deals with other structures and systems in or adjacent to the ocean, including offshore platforms, underwater submersibles, coastal structures and other ocean systems and ocean environmental engineering systems.

Marine engineering "targets" vessels and includes significant courses on thermodynamics, power systems, and the like. Ocean engineering "targets" stationary structures.
Perhaps more importantly, I work in a marine engineering firm, and we hire both.
RE: Marine vs Ocean Engineering as a degree
Marine Engineer: THERMODYNAMICS, DYNAMICS, STATICS, HEAT TRANSFER, METALURGY, STRENGTH, FEM (FEA), BOILERS, COOLERS, ENGINES, PUMPS, HYDRAULICS ETC.
and so on...
