About Us:

The Dania Beach campus (SeaTech) is FAU's Institute for Ocean and Systems Engineering, located on eight acres between the Atlantic Ocean and the Intracoastal Waterway in Dania Beach, Fla., with valuable access to the ocean and seawater.

FAU Dania Beach Campus Established in 1997 as a state-funded Type II research center, the institute is part of FAU's Department of Ocean Engineering.

Its team of world-class faculty members, engineers, technicians and students are engaged in federally and industry-sponsored ocean engineering research and technology development in the areas of acoustics, marine vehicles, hydrodynamics and physical oceanography, marine materials and nanocomposites.

SeaTech builds on and complements the academic programs of the Department of Ocean Engineering and forms the means for technology advancement, collaboration with academia, industry and government, and transition of research projects to applications.

Senior-level and graduate students may take both required and elective courses in the context of an ocean environment with hands-on and at-sea elements. Students benefit greatly from carrying out research and design projects directly in an ocean environment.
