Momentum offers students an interdisciplinary perspective on solving some of the world's biggest challenges. This year, students have the opportunity to apply the basic deterministic design principles to Design Flying Robots with Increased Range, Endurance and Sensors. Students will work in small teams to address the theme. The course will culminate with a competition and group presentations to industry representatives. Students must complete an application at: http://ome.mit.edu/programs-services/momentum-2014-application.
