Abstract

The detailed steps and procedures taken during a hands-on course of a smart marine and maritime surveying postgraduate program are described in this work. The purely practical and experimental course combined with student internship, forced the students to engage themselves to real condition procedures and measurements, focusing in the development of a sensor cluster for the assessment of water quality. Starting from the setup of the sensors and their integration on a Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle, the course also incorporates the calibration of sensors, their testing in safe and clear water and finally their use in order to assess the environmental conditions of a fish farm. All measurements, performed in two coastal areas of Greece and France, were be uploaded live to the cloud. Although the structure was not combined with Artificial Intelligence during the course, it is designed and developed in order to incorporate bidirectional communication with the Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle in the near future.
