SUMMARY

Majoring in Mechanical Engineering (ME), Chemical Engineering (ChemE), or Biomedical Engineering (BiomedicalE) provides pathways to careers involving marine animals. These engineering disciplines offer the technical skills necessary for roles in marine biology, conservation, and related fields. Engaging with marine life often requires practical experience, such as diving certifications, which can enhance job prospects in these areas.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Mechanical Engineering principles
  • Knowledge of Chemical Engineering processes
  • Familiarity with Biomedical Engineering applications
  • Diving certification for practical marine interaction
NEXT STEPS
  • Research career opportunities in Marine Engineering
  • Explore internships in marine biology or conservation
  • Investigate diving certification programs
  • Learn about the intersection of engineering and marine ecology
USEFUL FOR

Students considering engineering majors, marine biologists, conservationists, and professionals interested in applying engineering skills to marine animal research and conservation efforts.

Welcome to the PF.

That's an interesting question. It seems like ME and ChemE would be the two most likely fields, with maybe BiomedicalE as another possibility.

What kind of work with marine animals would you like to do? Are you a certified diver already? Where do you dive?
