CURRICULUM 472/1103P
EDUCATIONAL SKILL REQUIREMENTS (ESRs)
Ability to measure and apply the environmental effects of wind, currents, waves, and seismic activity to the design of flexible and rigid structures.
Working knowledge of design methodologies for ocean structures, including finite element and difference models, modal analysis, and general quasi-static analysis. Application of the principles of fatigue and fracture mechanics to the design of ocean facilities.
Working knowledge of seafloor sediment and rock, including types and properties, sampling, and testing, and ability to use this knowledge to determine facility foundation and anchoring requirements.
Understanding of the types of marine materials, their engineering properties, principles of corrosion, and the techniques of catholic protection for ocean facilities.
Working knowledge of the classical branches of physical, geological, biological, and chemical oceanography, including a thorough understanding of seawater properties, currents, tides, and meteorological conditions, and ability to predict operational and extreme environmental conditions through the application of advanced probability analysis of wave spectra and classical wave theories.
Understanding of coastal processes including shallow water wave theory, storm surge, tides, and other physical factors which affect the static and dynamic coastal geomorphology and sediment transport. Ability to determine the effects on structures, shore lines, and harbors.
Working knowledge of hydrodynamics including fluid flow behavior, resistance determination, and modeling of facility behavior under scaled conditions.
Working knowledge of ocean construction practices including methods and limitations of working in the offshore environment on fixed and floating facilities, pipelines, cables, and mooring systems.
Basic knowledge of the principles of underwater acoustics, naval architecture, marine engineering, project and program management, systems engineering, hyperbarics design, and instrumentation engineering.
Basic understanding of data processing and computer techniques for application to engineering problems.
Working knowledge of and ability to apply business and financial accounting principles.
Proficiency oral and written communications and ability to identify, research, and recommend alternatives to various engineering problems for presentation to both technical and nontechnical managers.
If a thesis or major report is required for the degree, the topic selected must be applicable to ocean engineering problems found in the Navy or extends knowledge in a particular technical engineering area.
