The field of ocean engineering gives an imperative connection between the auxiliary building and liquid mechanics. Ocean Engineering is an interdisciplinary field of building managing innovative work, plan, investigation, testing, operation and upkeep of structures, marine vehicles and different frameworks in beach front and seaward situations.

The office has aptitude in the accompanying examination territories,

1. Wave-structure collaboration

2. Hydrodynamics of seaward structures

3. Port and harbor structures

4. Beach front structures, procedures and shore assurance

5. Subsea pipelines, risers and links

6. Remote detecting, sea optics and submerged acoustics

7. Sea renewable vitality

8. Seaward auxiliary building

9. Marine Instrumentation
