ing young engineers," said Nancy Hussey, ISR Executive Director. "Their participation in the design, construction, and operation of a human-powered submarine offers real-time application of theoretical knowledge, handson creativity, problem solving and teamwork skill opportunities. The subrace engineering design competition is an investment in the future of our young people, not only to help them compete in the global technology economy, but to provide a better trained and experienced resource pool of bright and industrious students to help the defense industry and the government fill future national needs. The ISR experience increases their value to potential employers. Studies show that students who can put their classroom skills to practical use fare far better in the post-college job market."

ASU Purchases Iver2 AUV
OceanServer Technology said that Arizona State ordered an Iver2 AUV base vehicle for research. The Iver2 vehicle includes a second CPU that enables users a quick path to modify the vehicle for a specific scientific objective or additional sensor. The vehicle will be deployed in the coming months and used as a test platform for algorithmic design and implementation for field experimentation. Fieldwork will include coral reef characterization in the Bahamas, home to one of the world's longest barrier reefs.
