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 (six credits)
- Concentration courses (six credits)
- Elective courses (12 credits)
- Culminating event (zero-six credits)
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
