ConocoPhillips and the Ocean Engineering Program have cooperated from 2002-2005 to teach a one semester design course for senior ocean engineering students at Texas A&M University. The students work in teams, prepare design reports, and give individual design presentations that are critiqued by the academic and industry instructors. This paper describes the design course organization, the interaction between industry and academia, and example design project results.
