Discovery: Historic Shipwreck Found in Lake Huron
description of Ironton. The sonar images provided great detail, but the team had more work to do in order to confirm the identity of the discovered wreck.The following month, archaeologists from Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary teamed up with the Great Lakes Water Studies Institute at Northwestern Michigan College to explore the discovery. Using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) from aboard RV Storm, the team sought to confirm the ship's identity through video images. As the team excitedly watched the footage from the ROV, there was no mistake: Ironton had been found.In June 2021, Thunder Bay
Kongsberg Maritime Launches ScanFuse Powered by Qii.AI
takes inputs from other imaging technologies above the waterline such as high-resolution geo-referenced photographic images, LIDAR point clouds, FLIR data, and thermal images, to create 3-D digital twins of an asset above and below the waterline.Kongsberg also said it has partnered with Northwestern Michigan College and their infrastructure inspection micro credential. ScanFuse image generation is a part of this program. This micro credential is targeted to civil engineers who are responsible for inspecting and assessing marine infrastructure below the waterline
Teledyne Marine to Host First In-Person Tech Workshop since 2019
Teledyne Marine will host its first in-person workshop since 2019. This two-day event, branded as their “Teledyne Marine Workshop – Tech on the Lakes”, will take place on September 27-28, 2022 and will be co-hosted by Northwestern Michigan College's Marine Center, located in Traverse City on Lake Michigan.Teledyne Marine’s topic crew will provide technical and application training, as well as on-water demonstrations of an array of products from their vehicles, instruments, and imaging groups. Particular focus will be paid to inland water applications; however, presentations

Marine Technology Apprenticeship Candidates Sought
Northwestern Michigan College is seeking candidates for its Department of Labor-approved apprenticeship program in marine technology, the only one in the nation with a focus on remotely-operated and autonomous underwater vehicles. NMC will provide the classroom training from classes in the marine technology bachelor of science curriculum. The program’s goal is to develop graduates ready to perform applied technical work in this industry sector. This includes the calibration, deployment, operation, maintenance, and management of marine technology assets, including data collection,
Students to Pilot Pioneering Falcon ROV
America’s very first Bachelor of Science in Maritime Technology program, offered by Northwestern Michigan College, is to get a special Falcon ROV. In what the college says is a pioneering new capability, the Falcon will be fitted with an advanced sonar system that will help students study ROVs as a multicomponent resource used across a range of subsea activities. The aim of the BSc program is for students to become proficient in applied technology for the marine industry onshore and offshore. Their studies cover the calibration, deployment, operation
