Abstract

The Omer Human Powered Submarine team is an engineering student club founded in 1991 at the Ecole de technologie Superieure in Montreal, Canada. Student members ofthe club design and build submarines to participate in international races. For the last decade, the team has been performing extremely well, often dominating the race class they compete in. The team currently holds the speed records of three categories, namely the one-person propeller category with 7.192 knots, the two-person propeller category with 8.035 knots and the oneperson non-propeller category with 4.642 knots. This article exposes some of the elements contributing to this success.
