AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around the Ocean Engineering programs at both FIT and FAU, with a focus on FAU due to a potential relocation to Miami. Participants highlight FAU's extensive course offerings and its reputation, with one mention of a high school physics teacher claiming it rivals top programs like MIT's. The proximity to the ocean is noted as a significant advantage for practical ocean engineering experience. There is a suggestion to visit FAU, engage with faculty, and conduct personal research to make an informed decision about the program. Overall, FAU is viewed positively, although some perceive it primarily as a commuter school.

I've been accepted to FIT's Ocean Engineering program, but my wife's employment circumstances may dictate that we relocate to the Miami area rather than Orlando/Melbourne. FAU also has an Ocean Engineering program which is pretty extensive. Can anyone enlighten me on FAU-if not the specific OE program...perhaps the engineering/physics/math departments?
Any assistance would be a great help.
Thanks,

Does anyone have ANY information about FAU?
 
Based on their catalog they seem to have quite a few courses... when i was considering it the general impression was that it was a commuter school.
 
visit and decide for yourself

My physics teacher in high school told me that FAU's ocean engineering program was one of the best in the nation and even rivaled MIT's. I assume since FAU is so close to the ocean that it has an advantage for doing ocean engineering. But don't take my high school teacher's word for it, do some research, visit the school, and talk to the profesors. BTW I am an undergrad computer science major at FAU and I consider it a pretty good school, but then again I have nothing to compare it to.
 

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Should I submit 860 PGRE?'

Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
