Master of Science [M.S] Ocean Engineering - Remote Sensing and Maritime Security Track
- The University of Miami has a long history in Ocean Engineering. The University of Miami’s College of Engineering together with the Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science offered a Master of Science degree in Ocean Engineering. The program and others of its kind in the nation, were popular in the 1970s and 1980s, but fell into decline during the 1990s as national circumstances and priorities changed. In particular, opportunities in ship building and underwater acoustics, two key sectors in the field, diminished significantly. The activity in the field at UM has been primarily a PhD focused program since the late 1990s.
- Students will learn about current technologies applicable to threat detection and mitigation including threats from criminal activities, illegal immigration, piracy, and terrorism. The technologies of interest will include: satellite, aircraft and land-based radar and optical remote sensing, underwater acoustic surveillance, and infrared techniques applied to ship detection; X-Ray scanning, Gamma Ray scanning, radiation detection and Radio Frequency Identification Tags (RFID) applied to cargo. The final cap-stone course will give the students hands-on experience at UM’s state-of-the-art CSTARS (Center for Southeastern Tropical Remote Sensing) facility.Courses will cover the physics and principles of electromagnetic waves in the microwave, visible and infrared frequencies, acoustic and seismic waves.
