WEEK 1

In this blog, we are going to keep everyone updated on a weekly basis on our engineering design project of building a remote operated submersible for water quality testing. In this project, we plan to build and design a SeaPerch kit which is going to be able to do different tasks. However, we need to identify the sensors that are going to be necessary for our SeaPerch to successfully navigate under the water. In addition, we are going to try to design our SeaPerch as simple as possible because we do not want to put to many sensors because we may find it difficult to navigate it under the water. Our group has done research on what kind of sensors we can put on our SeaPerch. We plan to include sensors for measuring the pressure of the water, measuring the depth in the water, or even collecting water samples in different depth levels.
