Promoting awareness of marine technology: an ROV building competition for high school and college students

摘要

The Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center and the Marine Technology Society's (MTS) Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Committee are organizing an ROV design and building competition for high school and college students. The goals of the competition are to increase the awareness of marine technical fields and to encourage students to participate in them, while also helping students develop the skills necessary for careers in marine science and technology. Employers-industry, government agencies, and research organizations-are being asked to become involved in the event by sponsoring the competing schools and colleges.
