Model testing at the Offshore Technology Research Center.
The Ocean Engineering Program participates in several research centers and laboratories associated with Texas A&M University
- Center for Dredging Studies
- Offshore Technology Research Center
- Haynes Coastal Engineering Laboratory
We are also the home to several other significant research facilities
Research
The Faculty in the Ocean Engineering Program pursue an active research program in the areas of Coastal and Ocean Engineering. This research program is supported by two major research centers (the Offshore Technology Research Center and the Center for Dredging Studies) and three significant laboratories (the Haynes Coastal Engineering Laboratory, the Ocean Engineering Wave Tank and the Hydromechanics Laboratory) as well as by significant computational resources.
