CS and robotics are a natural fit. OP, do you gave any friends who are double majoring in robotics and something in the liberal arts field ( non Stem?) Are these kids also doing internships?
Also, why did you chose CMU for your college? I know many undergraduate robotics programs aren’t robust and few offer hands in learning until Junior/Senior years or Grad school. Can you comment on the undergrad robotics program with this in mind?
How do kids coming from strong robotics backgrounds where they have done or programs for many years compare to kids who have taken a single class in high school. Can kids test out or chose more advanced topics ir is it sequential with mostly fixed classes?
Who teaches most of the robotics classes? TA’s or prof? What size are they? How many involve on site learning/visual learning in a lab v. Lectures?
