2   Ability to interpret atmospheric phenomena sand interactions among land, sea, and air that occur at the coast
3   Ability to describe and determine effective factors at the coastal zone
4   Ability for evaluating the wave energy as a renewable energy source
5   Ability to explain the wind-wave relation and using wave forecasting methods
6   Ability to array morphological variations on the coastal zone and explaining the sea-soil-structure interaction
7   Ability to design physical models in coastal engineering and ability to determine physical scales
