成人抖阴Announces New Coastal Engineering Major
By 成人抖阴Public Relations
SALISBURY, MD---Salisbury University is addressing the growing demand for licensed engineers as the first in Maryland to offer a coastal engineering major.
The program focuses on solving problems in coastal environments and preparing students through hands-on, project-based instruction in not only physics and engineering but also geosciences and geographic information science.
“This degree is highly employable and 成人抖阴is among only three on the East Coast,” said Dr. Michael Scott, dean of SU’s Richard A. Henson School of Science and Technology. “The U.S. Bureau of Labor reports an expected 8% growth in demand in the next 10 years, with an average of 900 openings each year. Even greater growth is projected in regions vulnerable to coastal hazards, like the Mid-Atlantic.”
Local engineering companies who are 成人抖阴internship partners in support of the degree said the program will “help fill a critical workforce need in Maryland, particularly on the Eastern Shore” and expressed the need for graduates “trained to solve some of the most pressing issues related to development and environmental protection in the coastal zone.”
Courses include Intro to Oceans and Coasts, Coastal Engineering, Coastal Processes, Coastal Renewable Energies and Geological Oceanography.
Freshman physics major Maddie Coyne of Middletown, MD, is looking forward to transitioning her current coastal engineering concentration to the full major upon its launch in fall 2025.
“As a lifelong beachgoer and lover of nature, embarking on a career dedicated to solving environmental problems is perfect for me,” said Coyne. “In engineering and physics, no two problems have the same steps or solutions, and it’s truly a whole new sector of learning and not just a combination of math and science.”
成人抖阴students graduating with a degree in coastal engineering will be prepared to bring critical thinking, mathematics and scientific principles, and design and control methods to combat the negative impacts of winds and water in a particularly dynamic environment.
“So far, I’ve learned that from building structures to flooding and erosion, every single thing impacts our coasts, oceans and marine life, and I look forward to learning the solutions for thriving ecosystems despite people living in them,” said Coyne.
Enrollment in the program is open now. For more information on the major, view the program’s webpage.
