Prepare for a career in robotics with hands-on experiences
Robotics is a multidisciplinary field of engineering that includes physical robots, algorithms, human-robot interaction, policy, and ethics. Developing robots requires experts like computer scientists, electrical engineers, industrial engineers, and mechanical engineers.
At Oregon State, there are three degree pathways for robotics. You can get degrees in computer science (robot intelligence focus area), electrical and computer engineering (robotics focus area), or mechanical engineering (robotics control option). Undergraduates in any major can get hands-on robotics experience through clubs and research.
