Summary:The characteristics of the ocean which influence the design of electronics devices are temperature, pressure, salinity or conductivity. Problems created by these characteristics can be overcome in a variety of ways. These and many of the other parameters of the oceans are measured to enhance the oceanographer's understanding of the oceans, their processes and dynamics. There are limitations to available instruments and read-out techniques. some of which can be overcome by new instrumentation or circuits. The ocean engineer uses underwater acoustics as his primary tool for exploiting the oceans and here to there are problems. New approaches to ocean engineering like those made possible by the advent of the deep diving submarine bid to revolutionize current approaches and techniques. Some of the challenging fields which may require new devices are acoustic imaging, adaptive processing and trace element detection. The future of ocean engineering shows dynamic progress but the time scale for this progress is not clear.
