A brief overview of this course can be understood by going through the following tabular form of description,  after reading this information on the face of it, it can be decided as to whether a student ahs to opt this course or no.

If a student is thinking of doing a post-graduation course in ocean engineering, then here is the best option available to go for Master of Technology in Ocean Engineering. It’s an Oceanography course. There is an application of principles of mathematics and Science for designing developing and for operationally evaluating of the various systems, for monitoring, manipulating, controlling and operating within the environments of coast and ocean environment, places like underwater platform, system, and communication equipment, the design and plan of the entire system for its work and function in the environments of  underwater and water and also the analysis of the all engineering problems related to  it some of which can be actions of the water properties and its behavioural aspect on physical system and  forces of tides, motions of waves, movements of the currents of the ocean,  and other people. This particular programme is specifically for the faculty who has a keen interest in research, covering vast areas like Transport of Sediments, Coastal Engineering, and the mixture of various processes into estuarine and other coastal waters, Acoustics underwater, marine meteorology and motions of a vessel in the waves.

Course Suitability of Master of Technology in Ocean Engineering:

Here we have to understand what it takes to be an Ocean Engineer after a person’s Bachelor in engineering as it is a further specialised field. The following are some of the points which suggest us the required course suitability-

• Firstly, it is very obvious that a person has to be creative in order to be into this field, also inquisitive with a logical mind who applies his logic to all the matters concerning the job at hand.
• He needs to be good at communication skills, being able to communicate clearly is important, thus clarity of speech and writing is required, apart from this he should have sound judgement and leadership qualities in him.
• A person having keen interest to know in detail the policies of the ocean and everything about navigation, its requirements, areas of concern and if a person wants to explore the wonders of the sea can go for this course.
• He should have good analytical skills, a mind which is detail oriented and creative as said earlier.

Benefits of the course of Master in Technology (Ocean Engineering):

Finally, the persons completing this course are in demand both in private and public sector and also in overseas works. They have opportunities in all private institutes, colleges or NGOs (non government organisations) working in this area. They also have teaching and research fellowship opportunities if they qualify CBSE NET (national eligibility test) and get good salary packages. Other areas where they have scope for employment are Remote Sensing, Transportation into maritime works, Renewable Energies, Protection of Environment, Naval Architecture, Offshore Oil Recovery, Remote Sensing, Monitoring of Global Climate, Marine Corrosions and Metals, Defence and Underwater Vehicles etc.

There are very good options and opportunities into this field plus the requirement of being creative and scope of knowing the wonders of sea makes it much more interesting. Thus all the students who are interested in the ocean and oceanography can think of opting this course.
