Bachelor of Science in Engineering - Robotics Systems
Robotics Systems is a multidisciplinary engineering program that combines narrow, focused depth in several fields: electrical and computer engineering with some mechanical and industrial engineering. First, students complete a core set of engineering courses to provide a solid foundation in computer, electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering principles. Then, Robotics Systems students complete a set of twelve upper-level concentration courses. Ten required concentration courses provide depth in embedded systems and robotics with computer and industrial engineering and add depth in electronics with electrical engineering. Students customize their program’s depth by selecting two concentration electives from those same fields.
The plan of study shown below incorporates nine of the required Robotics Systems courses into the BSE's general plan of study. The three courses labeled "CONCENTRATION ELECTIVE COURSE" refer to the two selections from the "Select Two of the Following" category shown on the Engineering's Curriculum page and the required course IME-408. Due to IME-408's schedule, it will only be available in one of the three slots shown and must be taken that semester.
