The engineering department in the College of Technology and Innovation offers a multidisciplinary engineering program with a concentration in robotics. The multidisciplinary engineering program allows students to learn in a flexible problem-based curriculum with hands-on projects and the development of professional skills integrated into the program via project courses every semester. As a part of the flexible program, students can elect to take junior and senior mechanical engineering topic courses to complete a concentration in robotics. These courses have a focus on robotics and the electrical and mechanical engineering systems that make up robotic devices. A graduate with the robotics concentration will be able to provide leadership in large automation engineering projects, which are intrinsically multi-disciplinary in nature, using cross disciplinary knowledge in mechanical and electrical engineering to design and control robotic systems. This major is eligible for the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program at the following location: Polytechnic campus. Students from Western states, who select this major and campus, may be eligible for reduced nonresident tuition at a rate of 150 percent of Arizona resident tuition plus all applicable fees. See more information and eligibility requirements on the Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) program. Additional Program Fee: Yes Second Language Requirement: No First Required Math Course: MAT 265 - Calculus for Engineers I. The program also requires: MAT 266, MAT 267, MAT 275, MAT 343 for a total of 15 mathematics credits.

Robotics are playing an increasingly important role in many different industries, including manufacturing, automotive, defense systems, biomedical devices and aerospace. Graduates from this program have a broad base of technical knowledge in the design and implementation of electro-mechanical systems. In addition, they have the operational and communication skills that make them invaluable members of multi-disciplinary engineering teams, well suited for employment across the whole spectrum of applications.
