Every year, senior mechanical engineering students at Cedarville University complete a capstone project, a requirement before graduating. These projects allow the students to combine their book knowledge with practical skills they will use in their professional careers.
Throughout the years, projects have varied from building race cars and rockets to creating a medical device that can save a person's life after experiencing a severed carotid artery - which is currently pending FDA approval.
But Jared Ritzo, a senior from Virginia Beach, Virginia, knew that he wanted to complete a project that had never been done successfully at Cedarville - building an underwater, remote-operated, vehicle (ROV).
