Robotics Option - Electrical Engineering BS

The robotics option is part of the electrical engineering BS degree.

Advanced Courses in Robotics

By studying robotics in electrical engineering, you'll learn the theoretical and practical skills required to design robots and robotic devices, and how to implement ethical AI solutions.  Specifically, you’ll take courses that cover topics such as:

• Advanced programming
• Design of robotic systems
• Kinematics and dynamics of robotics manipulators
• Mobile robots
• Intelligent robots
• Autonomous robots
• Localization and mapping
• Artificial intelligence

Multidisciplinary Senior Design

Multidisciplinary Senior Design is a two-course sequence in your final year of study. It’s a capstone learning experience that integrates engineering theory, principles, and processes within a collaborative team environment. Multidisciplinary student teams follow an engineering design process, which includes assessing customer needs, developing engineering specifications, generating and evaluating concepts, choosing an approach, completing systems and subsystems designs, and implementing the design to the extent feasible, for example by building and testing a prototype or implementing a chosen set of improvements to a process. For this design project, you will apply the knowledge you have learned in the classroom and from your co-op experiences. Students in the robotics option are expected to work on a design project that focuses on designing, developing, or advancing an aspect of robotics.
