At-a-Glance
- Undergraduate courses in robotics and closely related areas are offered in the CS, ECE, and MEMS departments. ECE has a two-class robotics concentration program (ECE 383 / ECE 496) intended for juniors and seniors. MEMS offers controls and robotics classes, and many students take on robotics projects for their senior design capstone.
- Robotics is offered as a PhD concentration area in the MEMS and ECE departments, with students taking courses mostly according to a recommended curriculum.
- Robotics PhD students in CS and BME will coordinate a suitable course of study with their primary advisor and graduate advisors.
