About Having Ocean Engineering as a Major.
About Having Ocean Engineering as a Major.
(OP)
I'm actually an upcoming senior in highschool, and I'm excited about this major. I just need information on the job market for ocean engineering, and some advice about what colleges I should be looking toward. I live in Florida; I know of UF, FIT, and FAU. Do you guys know of any scholarships as well?
This is supposed to be a forums for those who are already ocean engineers, and I'm sorry for interrupting. I just saw a good opportunity and was hoping you guys could help out.

And as a minor, I was looking towards marine science - but I'm interested in music and genetic engineering also. And I'm pretty sure genetic engineering is a little different from the others.

You get ocean anything and then get hungry and look for work in the 'common' work places and you will have the word 'ocean' become a burden - A hurtle.
Get a BS in mech engineering then if you still want ocean, or find a situation where it would actually help, get an MS in "ocean".
Get your mech somewhere that you can lean it as far as possible in the ocean direction. Stay another semester and get a minor in biology or zoology perhaps. That would stack the deck in your favor a bit without cubbyholing you.

Peter, you said "double major". How exactly does that work?
