DESCRIPTION:CHEERS OCEANEERS! February 17th 2026\n\nOur main presenter this
  month is DWE - DeepWater Exploration Inc.\n\nIn this presentation\, Jake 
 Johnson from DeepWater Exploration (DWE) breaks down how subsea vision ser
 ves as the &quot;pickaxe&quot; of the modern maritime gold rush. As vessel manufactu
 rers race for major contracts\, DWE provides the essential hardware and to
 ols required to enable the new era of autonomous fleets. The presentation 
 will cover:\n\n- Vision Gap: Analyzing the industry shift from 2000s-era R
 OVs to today&#39;s AI-driven\, rapid-deployment swarms\, and why traditional v
 ision hardware has become a bottleneck.\n\n- Startup Journey: How DWE scal
 ed from apartment-based prototyping to supporting 600+ organizations globa
 lly.\n\n- USB Advantage: An overview of DWE&#39;s optics and vision systems wh
 ich enable higher camera density and better mission endurance.\n\n- Real-W
 orld Impact: Case studies across commercial\, defense\, and scientific sec
 tors.\n\n- Future of Integration: A first look at the explore3D Stereo and
  DWE SDK for deploying advanced vision capabilities and intelligent subsea
  perception.\n\n***\n\nWelcome to the monthly event for the IEEE Oceanic E
 ngineering Society (OES)\, San Diego Chapter\, which is hosting this meeti
 ng jointly along with TMA BlueTech (The Maritime Alliance)\, and MTS (Mari
 ne Technology Society).\n\nPlease join us for the main presentation and al
 so plenty of time for networking and friendly conversation about everythin
 g oceanic\, engineering\, science\, Blue Tech\, and more. No need to be an
  IEEE or OES member\, or TMA\, or MTS. Everyone is invited.\n\nThis month\
 , we will be at Quantum Brewing again\, a cool science-themed brewery foun
 ded by a biochemist.\n\nNo ticket required\, but please order something fo
 r yourself from the brewery.\n\nPlease grab a bite from a nearby restauran
 t\, which is okay to bring into the brewery per the owner.\n\nThe food and
  drinks are not being funded by the hosts. Please open your own tab.\n\nSp
 eaker(s): Jake Johnson\n\nAgenda: \nAgenda:\n\n5:30pm: Arrival and network
 ing\, order food/drinks for yourself.\n\n6:15pm: OES and other hosting gro
 up announcements.\n\n6:20pm: Main Presentation\n\n6:40pm (approximately): 
 “open mic” for any other attendees to present anything they like (ocea
 n-related\, of course).\n\nExamples: employers presenting opportunities fo
 r employment\, job seekers presenting a quick bio\, internship program opp
 ortunities\, promoting other events\, seeking funding\, “show and tell
 ” of any cool technology you are working on\, etc.\n\n*For the open mic 
 portion of the event\, please observe a time-limit of 3 minutes maximum pe
 r person. If you want to give a longer presentation\, please ask to be the
  main presenter for an upcoming monthly event.\n\n7:00pm to close: enjoy s
 ome drinks and chatting with fellow oceanic engineering enthusiasts.\n\nRS
 VPs are appreciated for planning purposes.\n\nBldg: Quantum Brewing\, 5375
