Any engineering major may declare a “Minor in Robotics Engineering” field of study, which will be listed on the student’s academic record after graduation. Requirements may be satisfied by completing 18 credit hours. Students must complete one of the following options, as well as an additional two courses (6 credits) from the list of supporting courses. The choice of option is not restricted by major.
Application for the engineering minor must be filed in the Engineering Dean’s Office at least one semester prior to expected graduation. Forms must be signed by the coordinator for the chosen option and then brought to the College of Engineering Dean’s Office for formal declaration and inclusion in the student’s file. Students are responsible for meeting the prerequisite requirements for individual courses, as applicable.
Required Courses
The course requirements for Option 1: Ocean Engineering Focus are as follows:
OCE360, OCE 456, OCE467, MTH215
The course requirements for Option 2: Mechanical Engineering Focus are as follows:
MCE431, MCE433, MCE 456, MTH215
The course requirements for Option 3: Electrical Engineering Focus are as follows:
