The Ocean Engineering Teaching Laboratory (OETL) is a place where undergraduates can get hands-on experience in Ocean Engineering Research and Design. This experience can be had through individual UROP projects and through several of our laboratory-based courses. We encourage our students to pursue their own ideas and inventions and the OETL is set-up to help students bring their ideas to reality.
The Lab is well-stocked with equipment, parts and materials for electrical and mechanical design, fabrication and testing. Since its inception in June of 1997 the OETL has produced three new, student-built, marine vehicles: Autolycus, a robotic submarine, the shark boat, a robotic boat and the Sea Perch, a very small and cheap remote-operated vehicle.
Faculty and reserach engineers run a number of laboratories.
