Our Last Event, Tour at International Submarine Engineering

 SAE BC would like to thank ISE and Don Muth, Senior Technical Advisor for hosting our last in-person event. Located in Port Coquitlam, ISE has been developing subsea vehicles and terrestrial robotics for the last 50 years. We learned about the complex engineering projects ISE has taken on in marine technology and robotic systems. The event included a walkthrough tour of ISE’s iconic marine platforms.

Modularity of the Explorer AUV makes it ideal for scientific missions that require an array of payload sensors.
