Minor in Robotics
Robotic systems have wide application in modern technology and manufacturing. Robots can vary in complexity and use, from microrobots for surgical procedures to moderate-size robots common in manufacturing and undersea exploration to macrorobots used for disposal of nuclear wastes and as arms on space-station modules. The program designed for a minor in robotics provides a fundamental understanding of robotic operation and preliminary training in design and use of robots.
Prerequisites:
· Calculus, Math 217 (Differential Equations)
· Physics 117A, 118A (General Physics I, II)
· CSE 131 (Computer Science I) or CSE 126 (Introduction to Computer Programming) or CSE 200 (Engineering and Scientific Computing) or MASE 201 (Numerical Methods and Matrix Algebra) or equivalent
Required courses:
· MASE 255 (Engineering Mechanics II)
· ESE 351 (Signals and Systems) or MASE 431 (Structural Dynamics and Vibrations)
· ESE 446 (Robotics: Dynamics and Control)
· ESE 447 (Robotics Laboratory)
Two courses chosen with the approval of the director of the program for a minor in robotics. Suggested courses are:
