M.S. in ECE, Graduate Robotics Track
A student may pursue an M.S. with a course-only option, a project option, or a thesis option. The Graduate Robotics Track requires four core courses, plus two to three electives. The minimum number of credits is 30. At least 18 hours of coursework must be at the 6000- or 7000-level classes. Besides the Graduate Robotics Track requirements, students must also satisfy certain requirements set by the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, depending on the thesis or non-thesis option. Project option: a minimum of 3 credit hours and a maximum of 6 credit hours of Independent/Special Studies (ECE 6950) are permitted and will count towards the 30 credit hours of required coursework. Thesis option: 10 credit hours of thesis research (ECE 6970) are required and will count towards the 30 credit hours of required coursework.
Example Program of Study for an M.S. in ECE, Graduate Robotics Track
Below are two possibilities for a program of study that satisfies the thesis option or project option degree requirements. Note that there are many possible options and that these are just two examples with an emphasis on robotic control. Course-based programs would replace thesis credits with additional elective classes and/or Independent Studies (ECE 6950).
Ph.D. in ECE, Graduate Robotics Track
The Graduate Robotics Track requires four core courses, plus three electives. The minimum number of credits is 30. At least 18 hours of coursework must be at the 6000- or 7000-level classes. Besides the Graduate Robotics Track requirements, students must also satisfy certain requirements set by the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering. 14 credit hours of dissertation research (ECE 7970) are required and do not count towards the 30 credit hours of required coursework.
Example Program of Study for an Ph.D. in ECE, Graduate Robotics Track
Below is one possibility for a program of study that satisfies the PhD degree requirements. Note that there are many possible options and that this is just one example of a PhD program of study with an emphasis on NeuroRobotics.
