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 deal 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.
