UFRJ’s Naval and Oceanic Engineering is formed by the Department of Naval and Oceanic Engineering (DENO) at Escola Politécnica and by the Ocean Engineering Program (PEnO) at COPPE , who work, in an integrated manner, in teaching, research and extension activities.

DENO supports the undergraduate course in Naval and Ocean Engineering and also offers many disciplines for the undergraduate degree in Petroleum Engineering.

PEnO is responsible for Masters and Doctoral courses in Ocean Engineering, acting in 2 (two) major areas of concentration: Naval Engineering (AENO) and Oceanic and Coastal and Oceanographic Engineering (AECO). With a highly qualified faculty and specialized laboratories and among the most modern in the world, such as the Underwater Technology Laboratory (LTS) and the Ocean Technology Laboratory (LabOceano), it works in the training of human resources and research projects and other forms consulting.

In addition, it has a prominent position in international terms, maintaining cooperation agreements in teaching and research with some of the most prestigious institutions in the field of ocean engineering.
