Hello!

  Welcome to ICEX 2017!  Students from Harvey Mudd College and Cal Poly will be heading to Malta in summer 2017 with faculty members to deploy underwater robots with the purpose of mapping coastal shipwrecks and developing new technology for marine archeology.  Being located in the Mediterranean Sea between continental Europe and northern Africa, the island nation of Malta and its coastal waters are home to a large number of historical wrecks.  Organized through a joint International Computer Engineering Experience (ICEX), the students will collaborate with Dr. Timmy Gambin, a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Classics and Archaeology, University of Malta and faculty members from Cal Poly and Harvey Mudd College in addition to further international partners.  The project goals are to develop an Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) system for intelligent shipwreck search, mapping and visualization. The 2017 ICEX team includes Harvey Mudd students: Jeff Rutledge (Engineering sophomore), Jane Wu (CS junior), Wentao Yuan (CS senior at Pomona) and Cal Poly students: Sam Freed (CPE senior), Amy Lewis (SE junior) and Roslyn Patrick-Sunnes (SE senior) joined by  Harvey Mudd College faculty member, Professor Christopher Clark of Engineering and Cal Poly faculty member, Associate Professor Zoë Wood of Computer Science.
