that students are ready to tackle the challenges of coastal infrastructure, sustainability and disaster resilience. Whether addressing rising sea levels, shoreline erosion or
renewable energy projects, our students are
shaping the future of coastal management
and environmental engineering.
Graduates of the program are in high
demand, sought by federal agencies like
the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA) and respected
engineering firms such as Whiting-Turner
and Becker Morgan.

eady to change the world? At
Salisbury University, future engineers aren’t just learning—they’re
solving the future’s biggest challenges.
As the world faces complex issues such
as energy efficiency and climate change, the
need for skilled engineers is greater than
ever. SU’s innovative programs in coastal
engineering and engineering physics are
shaping the engineers of tomorrow.
If you’re looking to make a real impact,
there is no better place than SU. With small
class sizes and big opportunities, you’ll
build close relationships with your faculty
and collaborate with your peers in a handson learning environment. You’ll do what
most undergraduates at other universities
could only dream of: getting out in the field
and working on real-world projects that
matter.
Coastal Engineering: Protecting Shorelines
and Communities
At SU, the coast is your classroom. Our
students take their studies to the Chesapeake
Bay and Atlantic Ocean, where they learn
how to design sustainable coastal infrastructure, help communities adapt to rising
shorelines and prepare for natural disasters,
and most of all, appreciate the breathtaking
beauty of the water.
SU is the only school in Maryland—and
one of just three on the East Coast—that
offers this exciting degree. Whether you're
fascinated by the forces of nature or passionate about making a lasting environmental impact, coastal engineering gives you
Engineer
Your Future
At Salisbury University, a new coastal
engineering major the only one in Maryland
lets you study near the beach while
tackling real-world challenges in coastal
environments. Talk about making waves for
future generations!
SUs engineering physics major provides a
options. With internship opportunities from
regional industries and big-city employers,
youll be ready to take on tomorrow.

the chance to turn your ideas into solutions
that change the world. It’s a field where
every project has the potential to transform
communities and protect some of the most
beautiful and vulnerable parts of our planet.
From rising sea levels, pollution, animal
habitat or renewable energy, all are reasons
freshman Maddie Coyne plans to switch
majors in the fall. She says the program
offers invaluable experience for all students,
regardless of if they plan to go into coastal
engineering or not.
“I’m really liking all my classes in geology and geography so far,” Coyne said.
“Even if you decide coastal engineering isn’t
for you, the skills you gain line up with so
many other careers.”
SU’s program emphasizes both technical
expertise and practical experience, ensuring
Engineering Physics: Bridging Science
and Technology
For students passionate about the intersection of physics and engineering, SU’s
engineering physics program offers an
exciting and unique path. This program
focuses on applying the principles of physics to solve real-world problems and drive
technological innovation.
Engineering physics students at SU are
more than just students—they're researchers and problem-solvers. They collaborate
closely with faculty on cutting-edge projects, gaining practical experience through
research and internships. From designing
energy-efficient systems to exploring the
world of quantum mechanics, students are
prepared to contribute to the advancement
of technology across various industries.
“Meeting workforce demands is a critical component of what we do here at SU,”
said Mike Scott, dean of the Henson School
of Science and Technology. “We talk with
businesses, nonprofits and local governments about what they need for the employees of the future, and then we figure out
how our students can fulfill that need.”
The hands-on, project-driven approach
of SU’s programs gives students the skills
to pursue careers in a variety of fields,
from electronics to materials science, all
while honing their problem-solving abilities. Plus, SU’s program is designed to be
ABET-accredited—so you’ll graduate with
a degree that meets the highest standards in
engineering education.
SU is proud to offer an education that
prepares students to make an impact.
Whether working on coastal infrastructure
projects or developing the next big technological breakthrough, they are equipped
with the skills and experience needed to
thrive in the world of engineering.
SU is the ideal place for students to
launch careers that will not only be rewarding but will also shape a more sustainable,
resilient future.
