Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering

Program Information

The ocean and naval architectural engineering program covers two broad areas: ocean engineering and naval architectural engineering. Ocean engineering includes the design and analysis of equipment and structures that allow people to operate on or underneath the ocean, while naval architectural engineering is the design and construction of ships and other floating or submersible equipment to serve the needs of the ocean-going community.

Program Details

• Campus: St. John's
• Faculty: Engineering and Applied Science
• Degree: Bachelor of Engineering
• Practical Experience: Up to two years of real engineering work experience
• Length: Five years (Engineering One + four years in ocean and naval engineering major)

Ocean and Naval Architectural Engineering at Memorial

Memorial's Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science offers the only co-operative ocean and naval architectural engineering program in the world. The program is rated one of the top programs of its kind in North America. The program prepares graduates to have the knowledge and the skills to apply the principles of fluid and solid mechanics, dynamics, hydrostatics, probability, and applied statistics, oceanography, water waves, and marine hydrodynamics to perform the design of ocean systems and ships at the system level, integrating multiple technical areas and addressing design optimization.

Admission Requirements

To apply for admission into the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, indicate Bachelor of Engineering in the appropriate place on the undergraduate application for admission. In addition to meeting the general admission requirements, you will also need to meet the admission requirements set out by the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.

Sample First Year

A sample program of suggested courses for Engineering One is available.

Sample Courses Beyond First Year

• ONAE 3054 - Ocean Engineering Hydrostatics
• ONAE 4011 - Resistance and Propulsion
• ONAE 5020 - Marine Propulsion

Career Opportunities

A Bachelor of Engineering degree, with a major in ocean and naval engineering, prepares students for a variety of careers, including:

• Ship and ocean system designers
• Marine performance evaluation engineer
• Surveyor
• Marine safety engineer
• Offshore platform and fleet operators Note: Some of these careers may call for supplementary education or preparation in the form of graduate studies, experiential learning, or professional courses and exams.
