<p>Hi, I am now considering the admission in Ocean Engineering Program in Texas A&M. Can this program help me find a job in Oil&Gas industry?</p>
<p>Yes. Ocean engineers often assist with the design of off shore oil rigs. I’d imagine that A&M, because of its prominence in the industry, is well connected with most of the major firms. A company needs someone who understands salinity, oceanic crust, and a variety of other factors which make off shore drilling a much more costly proposition than land based drilling. </p>
<p>Thanks. So you are saying that it is not difficult for a master graduate to find a job in the Oil&Gas Business? In fact my academic concentration is fluid mechanics,you know it is mainly about calculationg the force on the offshore platform caused by wave and wind.</p>
<p>That’s something you should ask the TAMU career services department or your adviser. Ask for a detailed survey of which companies are recruiting its grads, for what positions, and what salaries. </p>
