任务
The mission of SeaTech - The Institute for 海洋 and 系统工程 - is to provide an environment for advanced engineering research and technology development aimed at solving problems in the ocean. SeaTech builds on and complements the academic programs of the 海洋部 and Mechanical Engineering and forms the means for technology advancement, collaboration with academia, 行业, 和政府, and transition of research products to applications.
关于SeaTech
Established in 1997 as a State-funded Type II 研究 Center, the Institute for 海洋 and 系统工程 (SeaTech) is part of FAU's 海洋部 and Mechanical Engineering, and the College of Engineering and 计算机科学. SeaTech is primarily located on eight acres of land between the Atlantic 海洋 and the intracoastal waterway in 达尼亚海滩, 佛罗里达, with valuable easy access to the ocean. Its team of world-class faculty, graduate 学生 and engineers and technicians are engaged in federally and 行业 sponsored ocean engineering research and technology development in the following areas:
- 声学
- 海洋的车辆
- hydrodynamics and physical oceanography
- 海洋材料
- 共
- applied ocean systems
- and ocean energy technologies.

合作伙伴关系
SeaTech enjoys a long-term partnership with the Naval Surface Warfare Center – Carderock Division and its South 佛罗里达 Testing Facility (SFTF) which extends offshore south of Port Everglades over a 18 nautical miles cross-self by 4 nautical miles along shelf region, encompassing water depth of up to over 700m. The partnership provides extensive combined in-water test and evaluation capabilities for AUVs and other underwater systems.
研究
The Institute's annual sponsored research expenditure is around $3 million. Recent federally and state funded research and development projects include:
- 海洋磁学
- high-speed underwater modem communication
- 湍流流动
- durability of composite materials
- 共
- 仿生
- coastline security technologies
- and systems for harnessing ocean energy.
These projects complement basic research in:
- underwater acoustic transmission
- 流噪声
- hydrodynamics and physical oceanography
- computational fluid dynamics
- corrosion and marine material
- 结构
- and autonomous control mechanisms.
An ONR-funded program under a national naval responsibility initiative is pursued for training and development of a new generation of workforce for naval laboratories and the ship design 行业. New research opportunities in the areas of ocean and acoustic observatories are continually pursued by the faculty.
