Description

Engineers are creative problem-solvers who help shape the future. No profession unleashes the spirit of innovation like engineering.

The ABET-accredited BSE program in engineering prepares graduates to collaborate across disciplines to design and build solutions to real-world problems. In the program, students apply fundamental engineering knowledge and design thinking to real projects every semester.

Students in the robotics concentration of the Bachelor of Science in Engineering program first build a broad engineering foundation to which they add skills and knowledge necessary to contribute robotics subject matter expertise in transdisciplinary engineering teams. This expertise includes electromechanical systems, sensor and actuator integration, embedded digital systems application, and design and analysis of dynamic systems. The robotics curriculum also provides significant hands-on experience designing and implementing robotics systems to meet the needs of users.

Engineers collaborate on transdisciplinary teams to design, manufacture and deliver innovative technological products and services. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering program enables students to develop sophisticated technical skills in tandem with the professional skills of communication; teamwork and collaboration; and self-motivation and adaptability that many employers seek. Graduates are prepared to work in large corporations, government agencies, small businesses, as well as to go on to graduate school to pursue advanced degrees. The program's emphasis on open-ended design and project-based learning supports the development of entrepreneurial skills and attitudes, and some students start companies of their own.

Robotics plays an increasingly important role in many different industries, including manufacturing, automotive, defense systems, biomedical devices and aerospace. Graduates from this program have a broad base of technical knowledge in the design and implementation of robotic electro-mechanical systems. In addition, they have the operational and communication skills that make them invaluable members of multidisciplinary engineering teams, well-suited for employment across the whole spectrum of applications.
