Intelligent Robotic Systems Minor

The Intelligent Robotic Systems Minor is intended to provide an introduction to the field of robotics to students interested in careers or graduate study in this area. This minor is specifically targets student in Electrical, Computer or Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science, however other students who meet prerequisites are free to declare this minor. Students will select courses as detailed below based on their major and areas of interest.
