Exhibit title- The Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

Abstract- Every year the Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Team (AUVT) designs, fabricates and competes a submarine capable of navigating an underwater course without any human input. The vehicle will be making a debut at the Kids’ Tech University “technology” day! Team members will be answering questions and talking about the team, vehicle and the competition.

Ware Lab
Virginia Tech is widely recognized as one of the top engineering schools in the nation, producing engineers that not only know the theory but have hands-on engineering experience. The Ware Lab is the focal point for hands-on projects in the College of Engineering and is the best place on campus to view many projects developed by our undergraduate students. From autonomous underwater vehicles to radio controlled aircraft, engineering students, at all levels, are encouraged to become part of a design team that expands their view of what an engineer can accomplish before and after graduation. Companies frequently visit the lab and meet with students to discuss potential opportunities for internship, co-op or full time employment. The “hands-on, minds-on” philosophy of the Ware Lab promotes real-life experience with engineering concepts before students step out into the working world.
