海洋工程為出版這一領(lǐng)域的原始研究和開發(fā)工作提供了一種媒介。由于認(rèn)識(shí)到許多研究和開發(fā)人員正在進(jìn)入這一領(lǐng)域，因此偶爾會(huì)發(fā)表由主要當(dāng)局撰寫的評(píng)論文章。海洋工程包括:建筑物(包括船舶)的設(shè)計(jì)和建造;海底土力學(xué);海岸工程;材料的性能和制造;殼體的應(yīng)力分析與水動(dòng)力特性海洋能源;水下儀器;動(dòng)力和推進(jìn)系統(tǒng);水產(chǎn)養(yǎng)殖工程;水下聲學(xué);海洋資源。

Ocean Engineering provides a medium for the publication of original research and development work in this field. In recognition of the fact that many research and development workers are now entering the area, occasional review articles by leading authorities are published. Areas covered in Ocean Engineering include: design and building of structures (including ships); submarine soil mechanics; coastal engineering; properties and fabrication of materials; stress analysis and hydrodynamic properties of shells; ocean energy; underwater instrumentation; power and propulsion systems; aquacultural engineering; underwater acoustics; marine resources.
