Undergraduate Programs
Computer Science + Robotics and Intelligent Systems
Mechanical Engineering – Robotics, Automation and Design
Students majoring in Mechanical Engineering (ME) can study robotics by selecting robotics courses as their mechanical electives. ME students might consider adding the CS+ Robotics and Intelligent Systems minor to their ME degree, if they would like to expand their opportunities in robotics programming and controls. Students in other majors can also study robotics from the Mechanical Engineering Department by completing a Minor in Mechanical Engineering and choosing the Robotics, Automation, and Design Track. Courses in the ME Minor robotics track provide students with foundational skills in mechanisms, modeling, control, and design of robotic systems.
Bachelors of Science in Design Engineering – Robotics and Automation Theme
The B.S. in Design Engineering degree (DE) provides students with an education in integrative design, enabling them to bridge traditional problem-solving approaches from engineering, creative design, and the social sciences. The DE’s design focus provides students with hands-on experiences from the start of their education, including working on real-world challenges in interdisciplinary teams and mastering all phases of problem definition, concept generation, and solution implementation. As part of DE, students chose one from a range of theme areas, allowing them to apply their design skills to a specific area of practice. One of these could be Robotics and Automation. Coursework comes from the Departments of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science, and students are encouraged to complete their senior design project in the area of robotics and automation.
Earning a DE at Mines means you will develop expertise in integrative design, which enables you to bridge traditional problem-solving approaches to engineering, creative design and social sciences.
