In May 8, 2017, at the invitation of Yang Canjun, Associate Dean of the School of Mechanical Engineering of Zhejiang University and Professor of State Key Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems,Professor Bruce M. Howe, an internationally renowned marine engineering scientist at the University of Shaw, visited the StateKey Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems, School ofMechanical Engineering Zhejiang University. Professor Bruce M. Howe graduated from Stanford University with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and a master's degree in engineering science, and a Ph.D. in marine acoustics from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. He has worked at the University of Washington's Applied Physics APL Lab and has organized and developed the US Submarine Observation Network project. Professor Howe is currently director of the Department of Maine Resources Engineering, University of Hawaii, the international intelligent cable system technology chief scientist observing systems. His research interests include submarine observation networks, intelligent cable observation systems, navigation and communication for underwater motion platforms.

During the exchange, Professor Bruce M. Howe made a wonderful academic report on the hot issues in the field of seabed observation networks and his own research experience. After the report, the Human-machine and Ocean Mechatronic Engineering team (the HOME team) of the StateKey Laboratory of Fluid Power and Mechatronic Systems briefly introduced the latest research progress of the team. In-depth discussions and exchanges on platforms, submarine observation networks, and intelligent cable system observation systems were conducted. During the exchange, Prof. Bruce M. Howe and ProfessorYang Canjun discussed in depth the cooperation between the two sides to carry out the 3+2 joint training of college students. The two sides reached a preliminary intention on joint training of undergraduate and postgraduate students. Through academic exchanges with Professor Howe, members of the relevant research team of Zhejiang University agreed that they have broadened their academic horizons and gained valuable experience in marine engineering, which plays an irreplaceable role in promoting the development of marine engineering technology at Zhejiang University. At the same time, Professor Howe also gave a full positive evaluation of the academic enthusiasm of Zhejiang University teachers and students and the research work of marine engineering equipment and the international teaching of the School of Mechanical Engineering.
