Courses

Degree requirements

Student are required to fulfill four categories of courses. Details on the courses can be found in the handbook on the resources page and below.

Core courses- required courses for all concentrations (six credit hours)

EGR 501 Applied Linear Algebra for Engineers OR MAE 501 Linear Algebra in Engineering 

RAS 545 Robotics 1 OR MAE 547 Modeling and Control of Robots (MAE 501 is a pre/corequisite) 

  • RAS-MAE students are required to take MAE 501 and MAE 547. EGR versions of the core courses are not accepted. 
  • Students in the RAS-EE, RAS-AI, RAS-SE, and RAS-BE are highly encouraged to take the EGR/RAS core courses
  • The EGR/RAS core courses can be completed in the same semester
  • The MAE core courses should be completed in separate semesters, as MAE 501 is the prerequisite to MAE 547

Apply to the robotics and autonomous systems program

Electives (12-18 credits)

Students are able to take any of the concentration courses listed in the handbook as electives, or select electives from this list:robotics and autonomous systems approved elective list. Be sure to check the handbook and the list often for updates.
