The
ROV Institute provides educators with advanced skills to work
with students to design and build an ROV to compete in MATE’s national and
regional ROV competitions.
During the ROV institute, participants:
-
Built a small-scale, fully functional ROV that can
be replicated with students.
-
Use the vehicle to complete a set of pre-determined
mission tasks with an International Polar Year theme
-
Learn how to use a basic stamp to program their ROVs to use more
advanced motor controls and sensors
-
Acquired the knowledge, skills, and resources to
effectively mentor students in designing and building an ROV to
participate in future MATE/ MTS ROV Committee competitions.
-
Visited and interacted with undersea engineers, ROV
pilots, and marine technicians to understand the work they do and the
technologies they use.
-
Made connections with educators who have similar
interests and share “best practices” in teaching and instruction.
Three graduate credits are an option
offered for attending the institute through California State University
Monterey Bay (participants must cover the cost of registering for the
course).
