Engineering
Engineering is the application of scientific, economic, social, and practical knowledge in order to design, build, and maintain structures, machines, devices, systems, materials and processes.
Electrical engineering deals with the study and application of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism.
Mechanical engineering is a broad field of engineering that involves converting scientific concepts into real-world applications
Ocean engineering is a combination of mechanical, electrical, civil, acoustical, and chemical engineering.
Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), are underwater robots that are tethered to a ship and piloted by a crew onboard the vessel.
Geology
Geology is the science of the Earth, its composition, its structure, the process that act upon the Earth, and how those processes have shaped and changed the Earth over time.
Geophysicists study the properties and structure of the Earth
Marine seismologists map the Earth’s interior structure.
Physics
Physics is the natural science that involves the study of matter and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as energy and force.
An acoustician is someone who specializes in the study of sound. Many people mistakenly believe that acoustics is strictly musical or architectural in nature. On the contrary, acoustics is the interdisciplinary study of sound, and the field is very diverse
Physical oceanographers seek to understand why, where, and how water moves, and the consequences of these movements
Social Sciences

Marine educators work in a variety of creative ways to teach people of all ages about marine science and ocean conservation.
Marine lawyers work on the laws and policies that govern ocean and coastal resources.
Coastal Management Specialists use science, economics, and policy to study the physical nature, dynamics, and potential change of marine ecosystems.
