The course work in the Robotics Engineering Graduate Certificate program establishes a solid understanding of the fundamentals of computer science, electrical and computer engineering, mathematics, and mechanical engineering underlying robotic systems.
Completion of this graduate certificate requires 15 course credits and includes the following core courses:
- RBE 500 Foundations of Robotics – 3 credits
- ME/RBE 501 Robot Dynamics – 3 credits
- SYS 501 Concepts of Systems Engineering – 3 credits
- CS/ECE/ME/RBE/SYS graduate-level electives with advisor approval – 6 credits
Academic advisors are responsible for approving elective choices on students’ Plan of Study forms. Students may apply credits obtained under this graduate certificate toward an advanced degree.
WPI offers both a Robotics Engineering Graduate Certificate and a Robotics Engineering Management Graduate Certificate. Students may not earn both Robotics Engineering and Robotics Engineering Management graduate certificates, but they are permitted to switch from one certificate program to the other.
For more information on the Robotics Engineering Graduate Certificate, consult the Graduate Programs section of the current graduate course catalog for current offerings.
If your degree is in another discipline, you may need additional course work to prepare for the program. Learn more about available prep courses.
