BACHELOR OF SCIENCE
ROBOTICS AND EMBEDDED SYSTEMS DEGREE
Master the Engineering of Robotic Systems
The world we interact in everyday and the technology that we utilize are built
upon the foundation of embedded systems. The Robotics and Embedded Systems major
provides students the engineering foundation for the design, implementation and
analysis of embedded systems, with an emphasis in autonomous robotic systems.
Building upon the foundation of software engineering, a degree in Robotics and
Embedded Systems can span mechanical design, controls, electronics, digital
logic design, embedded programming, machine vision, and adaptive algorithm
development and design of autonomous robotic systems.
