Stevens’ Hoboken, N.J., location gives access to the living laboratory that is the New York Harbor and New Jersey coast. On campus, you’ll benefit from Stevens’ array of national research partnerships and work in renowned labs and facilities, including the Maritime Security Center (a National Center of Excellence), the Davidson Laboratory for experimental marine hydrodynamics and the Vibration Acoustics Laboratory.
I realized that I could make a career out of something that I am passionate about. As a program leader and trailblazer, it was a no brainer to stay at Stevens to finish my education.
The program in its entirety is committed to having its students excel in the classroom, in research and in their professional careers.
I was able to gain hands on experience in surveying through this experience.
Additionally, this year I hope to publish my research on the New Jersey Wave Climate and participate in an internship at a Coastal Engineering firm.
It has been neat to be a part of a program that is doing so much beneficial work for the surrounding coastal communities.
Students who are looking to be apart of one of the nation’s leading Ocean Engineering Departments should definitely choose Stevens to continue their education.
Specifically, Stevens allowed me to do research in coastal engineering which is not offered at many other schools in the area.
This knowledge and experience has been invaluable in my transition into industry and has made me a well-rounded and capable engineer.
In doing so I gained a lot of experience using drones in the marine environment, which qualified me for an internship with the USACE’s Field Research Facility.
Studying in different coastal environments has broadened my skillset and experiences, which is an incredible opportunity to have in grad school.
The ocean engineering master’s program at Stevens features highly respected and well-connected faculty members in the field.
Raju Datla is a universally respected researcher with vast experience in Naval engineering.
Jon Miller is on the Board of Directors for ASBPA, Jersey Shore Partnership, New Jersey Coastal Resilience Consortium, and is extremely well connected…
Ocean engineering master’s students have the opportunity to engage in a variety of research areas including ship hydrodynamics, sediment transport, coastal storm impacts, remote sensing and coastal flooding while interfacing with many of Stevens’ world class laboratories.
