Opportunities for graduate studies in physical, engineering, and underwater acoustics at the Naval Postgraduate School

The Departments of Physics and of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Naval Postgraduate School offer programs of graduate studies in acoustics leading to MS degrees in physics, applied physics, and engineering acoustics and PhD degrees in engineering acoustics and applied physics. The program is interdisciplinary, with courses and laboratory work drawn principally from the fields of physics and electrical engineering. Subjects covered include waves and oscillations; fundamentals of physical and structural acoustics; the generation, propagation and reception of sound in the ocean; civilian and military applications of sonar systems; and acoustic signal processing. Topics of recent theses and dissertations include development and field testing of novel sensors for atmospheric and ocean acoustics, modeling and measurements of ambient noise and sound propagation in the ocean, sound scattering in underwater waveguides, acoustic vector sensors and vector field properties, acoustic communications, geo-acoustic inversion, acoustic remote sensing of the ocean, and acoustics of autonomous underwater and aerial vehicles.
