What Is SeaPerch?Sea Perch is a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) Educational ProgramConsists of an educational tool kit that allows middle and high school students to construct a simple underwater ROV Includes a curriculum-based program that teaches students basic marine design skillsNaval Architecture
Marine EngineeringSponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) as part of the National Naval Responsibility for Naval EngineeringObjective is to develop the next generation of naval architects, marine engineers, naval engineers Slide6

What is the SeaPerch Challenge?The SeaPerch Challenge is the competition conceived and started in Philadelphia for executing the SeaPerch ROV Outreach Program
Teams represent companies competing for a simulated navy contract, trying to demonstrate that their SeaPerch Design best meets or exceeds navy technical requirements while staying within budget.Slide7

2005 - SeaPerch design and build initiated various locations - ASNE-DV pilots SeaPerch in local NJ school - Based upon feedback, ASNE teams with Drexel and Phila. School district
2006 - 1st SeaPerch competition held in Philadelphia (22 schools) 2008 - ONR establishes program to take Philadelphia model to national level2011 - Philadelphia hosts First National SeaPerch Competition 2013 - Philadelphia moves to a two day competition
increased capacity from 50 to 100 schools
1200 students exposed to SeaPerch annually
2014 - Philadelphia will hold its 9

Program goal is to sustain a long-term effort to address the problem of decreasing college enrollments in engineering and technical programs
Increase student interest in STEM related studies through hands-on activities at the middle and high school levelProvides awareness of Naval Engineering and Naval Architecture as career fieldsHelps students prepare for college level work
Interface with industry, academia and government engineers
Work in collaborative environment
Participate in a realistic business
Experience a major university campus
Participate in a realistic technical scenario
SeaPerch Program/Challenge Goals
Create a Fun, Challenging and Educational experience for students Slide9

2014 SeaPerch Mission
The Mission: Your ROV has been tasked to retrieve (6) communication boxes that were lost at sea and are of great value to the United States. Unfortunately, the communication boxes were discovered by a Russian submarine and temporarily placed in a secure holding area at the bottom of the Baltic Sea until they can be retrieved and decoded. Your task is to clear an underwater minefield, maneuver your ROV through a small security access door, and retrieve the communication boxes before the Russian submarine returns.Slide18
