AI Thread Summary
Mechanical engineering and civil/structural engineering are closely related to marine engineering, with marine engineering essentially being an application of mechanical engineering principles to marine systems such as boats, ships, and offshore platforms. Those interested in wind-power systems, like sailboats, may also find aerospace or aeronautical engineering relevant, but a solid understanding of hydraulics and fluid mechanics from mechanical engineering is essential. The discussion highlights the limited availability of specialized aerospace and marine engineering programs in Canada, prompting the inquiry into related fields.

So a while back i heard that mechanical engineering has a lot of overlap in terms of curriculum/work with aerospace engineering, another field I am curious about is marine engineering.

Up here in Canada there arent a whole lot of schools offering aerospace/marine engineering

So my question is what kind of engineering is similar to or has overlap with marine engineering?

Thanks

Mechanical or civil/structural engineering. Basically marine engineering is mechanical engineering applied to marine systems - boats, ships, off-shore platforums, or power or control systems used therein.

If one is interested in wind-power systems, e.g., sailboats, then aerospace/aeronautical engineering would be appropriate. But one would also need the hydraulics/fluid mechanics from mechanical engineering.
 
Hello, I graduated from undergrad a few years ago with a Major in Physics and minor in Electrical Engineering. I tried to get experience working on and testing circuits through my professor who studied Neutrinos, however covid caused the opportunity to go away and I graduated with no experience or internships. I have attempted to break into the engineering industry with no success. Right now I am considering going for a Masters in Electrical Engineering and I need advice on if this would be...
