This online course provides a comprehensive overview of the technical and operational challenges associated with designing, constructing, and managing engineering projects in offshore and remote environments.

Remote and offshore environments impose unique demands on engineering practice. This course examines how isolation, harsh climates, and limited infrastructure affect decisions in logistics, structural design, environmental management, workforce support, and digital system integration. It describes how transport limitations, essential support systems, marine engineering requirements, and regulatory obligations interact to shape project safety, operational resilience, and long-term performance. The course also highlights how emerging technologies, such as digital twins, AI-driven diagnostics, are transforming how remote engineering projects are executed and supervised.

This course is applicable to civil, mechanical, electrical, environmental, systems, and geotechnical engineers, as well as other professionals seeking a structured understanding of offshore and remote engineering practices, regulatory considerations, and modern oversight methods.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand the engineering, logistical, and environmental constraints that influence project planning in offshore and remote settings
• Learn the regulatory frameworks governing U.S. and international offshore and remote operations
• Familiarity with the essential infrastructure, transport systems, and support requirements needed to sustain isolated facilities
• Recognize the principles of risk management, emergency response, and safety system design for remote operations
• Learn how digital systems, including SCADA, digital twins, and AI platforms support remote monitoring and autonomous control
