<p>Access to specific robotics classes can vary with each major in each school. WPI is the only one I know of that has a specific undergrad major for robotics. Other schools just have classes you can take as electives through your discipline. At Carnegie Mellon, the better access as an undergrad is through electrical engineering from what I recall but the primary access to the Robotics Instititute is more grad school. Univ of Pennsylvania also has an awesome robotics grad program (GRASP lab). </p>
<p>University of Maryland (College Park) has the Robotics Instititute that just added a master’s program, but there are some upper level tech classes available to both EE and MechE undergrad students each fall. Also lots of research opportunities! The curriculum is cross-disciplinary which is helpful in robotics design. Every semester, the class offerings are different, but this gives you a sense for this coming fall…
ENME444 Assistive Robotics
ENME489L Special Topics in Mechanical Engineering; Bio-inspired Robotics
ENME489O Special Topics in Mechanical Engineering; Micro/Nano Robotics
ENEE408I Capstone Design Project: Autonomous Control of Interacting Robots
Some grad level classes you may be able to sign up for include
ENME675 A Mathematical Introduction to Robotics
ENME808O Advanced Topics in Mechanical Engineering; MICRO/NANO ROBOTICS</p>
<p>FYI, every year, they host a Robotics Day so you can see the projects they are working on. Not sure when the date will be set for this coming year, but here is the link for last year’s info <a href=“http://robotics.umd.edu/Md_robo_day/”>http://robotics.umd.edu/Md_robo_day/</a>
