Digging for Dough
August 1st, 2006Oil Online reports that the Marine Technology Society recently awarded over $34,000 in scholarships.
The students, 20 total, are from across the globe in the United States, Canada, and England.
The money went to students majoring in a variety of subjects like:
- Marine Biology
- Ocean Engineering
- Ecology
- Environmental Science
- Biology
- Marine Sciences
- Mechanical Engineering
- Chemical Oceanography
Some of these degrees are combined to produce very specialized research and study such as Underwater Marine Robotics and Underwater Remote Sensing Technology.
The oil industry benefits from this type of research for their ocean drilling projects, which inevitably will garner increasing demand as the oil supply and instability of the Middle East become stonger concerns.
