The MATE Center held its 3rd Annual Summer Institute in Monterey, California July 22- August 4, 2001. The focus of this year's institute was to help improve the national marine technology workforce by providing community college, as well as high school and four-year university faculty, with the knowledge, skills, and resource materials needed to implement a submersible technology course at their home institutions. The MATE Center achieved this goal by providing participants with the opportunity to design and build a Remotely-Operated Vehicle (ROV), talk to ROV technicians, and receive instruction in such areas as:

• History and types of submersible vehicles, including ROVs and Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV)
• Submersible vehicle applications
• Submersible vehicle safety procedures
• Communications techniques
• Submersible vehicle mechanics
• Submersible vehicle hydraulics
• Submersible vehicle electronics
• Robotics
• Submersible vehicle piloting
• Team building
