Placement Data

Statistics from the 1993–2002 graduates provide a clear picture of where the students are coming from and where they are heading after graduation. Approximately 50% of the students were recruited from US mainland, 45% from foreign countries, and 5% from Hawai‘i (those who went through high school or undergraduate education in Hawaii). However, 40% of the graduates found work or continued to study in Hawai‘i, 50% moved to US mainland, and 10% returned to their countries of origin. Almost all of the graduates obtained employment or continue to study in the ocean and resources engineering disciplines and 90% of them remain in the same disciplines as of Spring 2003.

Career opportunities for graduates in ocean and resources engineering exist in several areas. Approximately 55% of the 1993–2002 graduates found work in private industry including oil companies, consulting and environmental service firms, classification societies, and construction firms in the U.S. About 20 % of them joined or continued their employment with federal agencies such as the Army Corps of Engineers, Navy Civil Engineer Corps, and Pacific Missile Range Facility; and 5% found work with the state of Hawai‘i and the University of Hawai‘i. Another 10% entered PhD programs at US universities. The 10% of graduates, who returned to their countries of origin, mostly work for government agencies and research institutes.
