Masters program: The Master of Engineering in Subsea Engineering is an engineering degree with a focus on engineering of subsea systems and is uniquely designed to provide scientific and technical skills necessary for designing, building, installing, testing and operating subsea equipment for the Oil & Gas Industry. The TAMU subsea program stresses core subjects while giving exposure to the fundamentals of all critical areas of subsea engineering. Students will also learn project management and project ex*****on, including experience-based lessons.

General

Philosophy: provide practical instruction for skill sets widely used in the Oil & Gas industry for performance of the engineering in subsea systems.

Taught by Professors of Practice: non-tenured professors who base their knowledge on years of professional experience gained from industry careers.

Program Objective: Graduate students with the actual skills needed to perform industry jobs, become productive employees more quickly and accelerate their advancement.

Oversight of the program is provided by an advisory board made up of experts from the O&G Industry.

Why get a master’s degree in Subsea Engineering?

It is extremely challenging work. In many ways it is as challenging as the space program.
i. Remote operations for equipment located hundreds of kilometers from the operator in thousands of meters ocean water depth
ii. External pressures exceeding 5,000 psi
iii. Internal pressures exceeding 15,000 psi
iv. Internal temperatures with tremendous variations between very low and very high
v. External environment (sea water) is corrosive
vi. Internal environment (hydrocarbon fluids) can be extremely corrosive
vii. Ocean environment can be extremely challenging: low temperatures, high currents, huge waves.

There are many technological challenges facing the Industry that need new ideas from young minds.

Subsea Engineering Program Director

Subsea engineering is a multidisciplinary field that builds on conventional engineering knowledge. Texas A&M Interdisciplinary Engineering offers two masters degrees related to Subsea Engineering: Masters in Engineering in Engineering specializing in Subsea Engineering and a Masters of Science in Interdisciplinary Engineering with a specialization in Subsea Engineering.

In addition to broadening their engineering skills, masters students will learn about the economic and operational drivers that are critical to designing, selecting and configuring subsea systems. Students will also learn subsea project management and ex*****on, including experience-based lessons learned.

All students in this program are exposed to courses that cover the fundamentals of subsea engineering, and may select from courses that cover subsea hardware, subsea controls and umbilical systems, subsea riser systems, and flowlines, pipelines, and their installation.
