Program in Ocean Science & Engineering (OSE)
by Georgia Institute of Technology (Academic institution)
The Program in Ocean Science and Engineering (OSE) was established in 2016 at the Georgia Institute of Technology, USA. The mission of OSE is to educate the next generation of transdisciplinary ocean scientists and engineers by combining the basic and applied sciences with innovative ocean technologies, and to advance interdisciplinary research at the frontiers of the physical, biological, chemical and human dimensions of ocean systems.

The OSE research aims at developing new integrated solutions for grand challenges in the areas of Ocean Technology, Ocean Sustainability, Marine Living Resources, Ocean and Climate, and Coastal Ocean Systems.

The OSE will develop strategic internship for students, and research partnerships with both public and private sectors, to facilitate the transitions of the OSE students from graduate research to problem solving of modern challenges concerning a sustainable development of ocean resources. These efforts will create a culture of entrepreneurship and social awareness in both OSE students and faculty.
