NOAA's National Sea Grant College Program also sponsors research at MIT. Hydrodynamics is the predominant category of various research efforts, many of which are fundamental research involving vorticity control, vortex dynamics, free-surface turbulence, and similar areas, but ship resistance and means for propulsion, ship motions and wave-induced loading, as well as the loading and the response of offshore structures, are also studied.

In 1994, the eight graduate program areas of specialization in marine hydrodynamics, marine structures, marine engineering, marine environmental engineering, offshore engineering, marine systems management, ship production, and computer-aided marine design were combined to encompass the primary thrust areas of marine hydrodynamics, marine environmental engineering, and concurrent marine design. The degree of Master of Engineering is offered in the multidisciplinary field of manufacturing.
