          2007 Summer Workshops for Faculty in
     Advanced ROV Building for Classroom Projects
                   near Monterey, California

The Marine Advanced Technology Education (MATE) Center is announcing our
summer institute for 2007- Advanced Remotely Operated Vehicle Building
for classroom projects to be held July 23rd-30th.  Throughout the week,
educators will work in teams to
design and build their own ROVs to complete a set of predetermined
mission tasks.  The workshop will start off with a representative from
SolidWorks leading a tutorial to design a basic frame for their ROVs.
The educators will then learn how to
program a basic stamp to control sensors and motors on their ROVs. The
participants will test their ROVs in a mini-competition with an
International Polar Year focus at the end of the week.

Participants will have the opportunity to interact with undersea
engineers, ROV pilots, and marine technicians to understand the
technology and the work of these marine professionals.  Instructors and
experts for industry will provide information
about ROVs and their uses and will conduct hands-on sessions.  In
addition to classroom and hands-on learning experiences, field trips
around the Monterey Bay area, including a visit to the Monterey Bay
Aquarium are planned.  The knowledge provided
in this workshop will provide the knowledge and skills to support their
students to participate in MATE's regional and National ROV
competitions. Educators will also have an opportunity to will also have
the opportunity to network with other
educators who have similar interests and to share best teaching
practices

Are you an educator with an interest in these exciting fields of marine
technology?  If so, please apply and join MATE for a weeklong hands-on
workshop!  There is no fee for participating in these institutes.
Lunches and some dinners will be
provided by the MATE Center as well as hotel accommodations for
participants living more than 50 miles from Monterey.
