Congratulations to the CityU team of undergraduate students on achieving Rank No. 5 in the 2019 MATE International ROV Competition under the supervision of Dr. Yajing SHEN, Dr. Pakpong CHIRARATTANANON, and faculty members from the EE Department. The MATE competition challenges students from various level all over the world to design and create their remotely operated vehicles (or ROVs) to cope with missions designed in scenarios from the ocean workplace.

The competition attracted 741 teams from 36 countries worldwide. Of the 70 teams from 19 countries in the international championship in the USA, the team won the fifth place among 25 teams in the Explorer Grade (University-level competition).

To participate in the competition, students are required to transform their teams into companies that produce, promote and sell their 'products' as if they are 'entrepreneurs'. They also need to prepare technical reports, poster displays and engineering presentations to be delivered to the competition judges who are working professionals.
