Education
We offer a variety of undergraduate and graduate robotics courses across several departments:
- Electrical and Computer Engineering
- Mechanical Engineering
- Aerospace Engineering
- Agricultural and Biological Engineering
- Industrial and Enterprise Systems Engineering
- Computer Science
M.S. and Ph.D. students are admitted to one of these home departments, and will need to satisfy the degree requirements of the home department. Ph.D. students will identify a primary faculty advisor that is affiliated with their home department.
We are currently accepting applications for a Masters of Engineering (M.Eng.) in Autonomy & Robotics, starting in 2022. The M.Eng. is an intensive, 1-year professional Master’s program that prepares students for the robotics and autonomy workforce. Students will take a variety of courses from all departments listed above, with a curriculum tailored to their interest area.
Coursework
There is no “one size fits all” curriculum for robotics, and a successful robotics student will build their own plan of study that fulfills the requirements of their home department, and combines robotics courses from the list below with relevant breadth courses, e.g., machine learning, control theory, AI, computer vision, optimization, HCI, and design.
Professional Masters (MEng)
The Master of Engineering in Engineering with Concentration in Autonomy and Robotics program is a fast-paced, one-year, professionally-oriented curriculum that aims to provide students with solid foundational and operational knowledge in the integration of principles of autonomy and robotics across a wide range of enterprises.
Application deadline:
Fall enrollment: April 1 for all applicants.
Spring enrollment: Nov. 1 (international), Dec. 1 (domestic)
