Robotics Programming Certificate

The robotics programming certificate is designed to provide additional training to supplement related degree programs. The curriculum combines aspects of engineering and computer science, emphasizing design of physical robotic systems and the software necessary for intelligent control. The certificate introduces students to mechanical, electrical, software, and operational aspects of robotic systems. Students gain practical engineering and software development experience in laboratories and automation-type projects.

Robotics Curriculum

All prerequisites must be satisfied before taking any of the following required courses. For example, Mechatronics Engineering majors must choose MATH 2345 Discrete Mathematics as their math elective, and Computer Science students must choose PHYS 2211 in Area D and MATH 3260 as their math elective.

Students of any major who satisfy certificate course prerequisites, including Engineering Standing, are welcome.
