Such exercise builds their confidence andunderstanding of how the electromechanical systems work. After students are familiar with thetechnology and concepts, in the learning phase, they are introduced to the history of NASA’sspace exploration through series of NASA’s excellent video content available through multipleof NASA’s web resources [7]. Also, students are given opportunity to interact with NASA’sengineers through a live webinar and Q&A session to learn about NASA’s Journey to Marsprogram.In the second phase, students are
