In support of that, the team proposed thedeployment of an AUV for testing of environmentally based navigation in thatenvironment. For that mission the specifications were basic:Scenario 1: Underwater volcanic exploration.Seamount depth: 500mCaldera Floor :1000m: Operational Range: 0-1000mCaldera Mouth: 2km:Vehicle speed 2kts:Range 5 kmOperational life on 1 batt charge 2 hoursMission ProfileMode 1: Make one pass over caldera, compass based, turn 180 degree, dive to next depthand return.

For example, each ISEE adopted a theme of investigating learningenvironments as research laboratories, but differed in scope and intent. The benefit of this “lab”theme is that it promotes a view that all learning environments are laboratories for understandinglearners and the learning process. For the first ISEE, the theme was “class as

Freshman admission into the program is limited to an average of 78students or 29% of the applicants according to Dr. Edward Gibson4, former Associate Chairmanfor Architectural Engineering. The main reason for limiting enrolment of freshman studentsaccording to Dr. Gibson is limited space, including laboratory and studio facilities.
