Ocean engineering is a field of study that can be vaguely defined as an advanced part of the other marine technology studies like maritime engineering or offshore engineering or marine electronic technology. If defined in detail, it would be mentioned as a branch of technological studies that deals with the design and operations of man-made systems in the ocean and other marine bodies. However it should not be confused with oceanography as is a common problem. This is because oceanography is the study of the natural aspects of the oceans and their dynamics, but not the artificial influence.

In the present book, fifteen typical literatures about Oceanographic Engineering published on international authoritative journals were selected to introduce the worldwide newest progress, which contains reviews or original researches on Oceanicengineering , Marinecareers , Ocean Energy, Tidal Current Energy, etc. We hope this book can demonstrate advances in oceanographic engineering as well as give references to the researchers, students and other related people.
