During the last 20 years the progress of maritime engineering in Chile has been vertiginous and challenging, considering the extensive national coast, the natural threats that are part of our reality and the need to efficiently manage the national logistics and port system. Therefore, to intelligently develop the coastal territory and the port system, professionals need to be trained to master the various aspects of the design of maritime works and port operations, under a multidisciplinary approach. We face this challenge, convinced to make an innovative contribution to the development of the country.
Today there is a consolidated demand for specialists in the national market, and there our graduates contribute with their quality and professionalism to the improvement of the management of the coastal territory and, consequently, to the quality of life throughout the Nation. Today ocean engineering is a specialty positioned nationally.
