Using engineering technology to mitigate marine environmental deterioration can promote marine sustainable development. College education of marine environmental engineering (MEE) is key to culture professionals of social needs. Although marine colleges generally recognize the importance of MEE, public availably specialized teaching materials are insufficient. The cultivation of component talents with knowledge of marine resource development and environmental protection is weakened. To enrich marine higher marine education, based on the comprehensive analysis of history literatures, the study discussed definition, and teaching content scope of MEE. Lastly, a primary course content framework of MEE was built. The framework will provide a reference for the teaching practice of marine resources and environment related majors.
