[Anonymous] MoRETA Rover: A Capstone-Level Project-Based Learning Module by Prof. David Miller of MIT.

 

A capstone-level project-based learning module by Prof. David Miller, MIT, captured as part of the North American CDIO in Aerospace Engineering Education Project with support from NASA.

As a team, students develop and validate a modular rover design capable of conducting a wide range of high impact science operations in a variety of extreme terrains under both direct and remote human guidance in order to maximize the scientific return per cost of future Lunar and Martian rovers.

The MoRETA project spanned three semesters with nearly 70 students participating in the first semester.  Due to the structure of the class, enrollment drops each semester; the second and third semesters had 65 and 23 students respectively.  The materials budget for the project was approximately $30,000.
