Ocean Engineering and Designing for the Deep Sea — page 1
WHAT IS OCEAN ENGINEERING Working in oceans comes with many challenges The waters are deep and often far from land Humans cannot survive in great depths without help Ocean engineers solve these problems They design technologies to help people explore and benefit from oceans We know more about how Earth formed climate change and marine life thanks to ocean engineering solutions These include imaging sensors that monitor ocean environments robotic vessels that work at different depths and offshore structures Steps in the EIGHT STEPS TO SUCCESS process design Define the problem The design process is a series of steps Ocean engineers follow them to build develop and test solutions for working in the deep sea Identify criteria and constraints Engineers may focus on one or more steps in the design process Brainstorm ideas Select a solution Build a prototype Improve the design Test the prototype This mini submarine helps people explore marine life on a coral reef Share the solution
