[Details & license](https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Marine-engineering.jpg).* > Marine engineering is the engineering of boats, ships, submarines, and any other marine vessel. Here it is also taken to include the engineering of other ocean systems and structures – referred to in certain academic and professional circles as "ocean engineering". ([Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_engineering)) <!-- REAL-GENERATIVE-MEDIA:END --> > Summary stub · part of Process Engineering · [Wikipedia source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_engineering) ## Summary Marine engineering is the discipline that designs, builds, and maintains ships, submarines, offshore structures, and maritime systems. Marine engineers apply [[Naval_architecture|naval architecture]], hydrodynamics, mechanical systems design, and [[Materials_science|materials science]] to develop vessels and subsea equipment capable of functioning in harsh marine environments. The field encompasses propulsion systems, power generation, fluid handling, structural design for [[Corrosion|corrosion]] resistance, and safety systems for at-sea operations. Marine engineering integrates civil and [[Mechanical_engineering|mechanical engineering]] principles adapted to the unique constraints of floating and submerged structures operating far from support infrastructure. ## Key points - Designs and builds ships, submarines, and offshore structures - Applies hydrodynamics, naval architecture, and mechanical engineering - Addresses propulsion, power generation, and fluid handling systems - Includes corrosion control, structural integrity, and maritime safety - Manages extreme conditions and remote operational environments ## Relation to Process Engineering Marine engineering relates to process engineering through offshore oil and gas processing platforms, floating chemical production facilities, and desalination plants operating in marine environments. Additionally, marine engineers and process engineers collaborate on subsea equipment, fluid transport systems, and integration of processing operations with marine structural and propulsion systems. Offshore refining and chemical processing represent specialized applications where marine and process engineering expertise combine. ## Sources - [Marine engineering — Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marine_engineering) Back to Process Engineering --- <!-- SEMIOTIC-PROFILE:START --> ## Semiotic profile > *The semiotic universals this article invokes, machine-derived from the crossref — **unverified** (born so).
