Robotics

专业详情

Launch a robotics career through an intense curriculum, hands-on projects, and an industry-ready portfolio.

The future is bright for the cutting-edge field of robotics, which is forecasted to grow substantially over the next 20 years. Roboticists will be required to have expertise in computer science, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, biomedical engineering, and mathematics. This range of requirements often leaves a gap between an undergraduate’s abilities and the needs of industry.

The Master of Science in Robotics (MSR) program aims to bridge that knowledge and experience gap through its intense, hands-on approach to learning. Our graduates leave prepared for jobs with leading companies, for their own entrepreneurial adventures, or with a solid foundation for pursuing a PhD.
