MS in Robotics & Autonomous Systems

The MS in Robotics & Autonomous Systems (R&AS) program is designed to prepare students for technically demanding careers in a variety of areas in industry as well as for post-master’s graduate studies in robotics, autonomous systems, or related fields.

Curriculum

The MS in Robotics & Autonomous Systems curriculum requires a minimum of 32 graduate-level units (500-level or above courses). Course units can only be used to fulfill the program requirements if the student receives a grade of C or better in the course. To graduate, a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 (B) must be attained in the set of courses used to satisfy the program requirements for the degree.

Structured course requirements: The 32 units must be selected as follows:

• One required course (4 units): ENG EK 505 Introduction to Robotics
• Four robotics core courses (16 units) selected from a list and satisfying the requirements of Control, Design, Perception, and Machine Learning (one course in each designated area).
• Three technical electives (12 units) may be any engineering/science electives at the 500 level or above (with no more than one course from the approved list of engineering management courses).
