Program Overview

Program Overview

The Master of Science in Robotics and Autonomous Systems (Electrical Engineering) is a multidisciplinary program that emphasizes competency in the rapidly growing fields of robotics and autonomous systems. This concentration is appropriate for students who wish to focus on applications in electrical engineering.


Program Description

This advanced degree program provides a solid theoretical and practical background in a variety of topics, including theory, design, and implementation of control systems; signal processing; real-time and embedded systems; computer vision; and machine learning. Students are exposed to state-of-the-art and emerging theories and implementations related to sensing, data processing, adaptive control, automated mobility, autonomous systems, human-machine interaction, and robotic applications in various domains.


At a Glance

  • College/school: Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering
  • Location: Tempe
  • STEM-OPT extension eligible: Yes

Accelerated Program Options

This program allows students to obtain both a bachelor's and a master's degree in as little as five years. Accelerated bachelor's plus master's degree programs are designed for high-achieving students who want the opportunity to share undergraduate coursework with graduate coursework to accelerate completion of their master's degree.


Degree Requirements

  • 30 credit hours and a portfolio, or
  • 30 credit hours and a thesis, or
  • 30 credit hours including the required applied project course (EEE 593)
  • Required Core (6 credit hours)
    • MAE 501 Linear Algebra in Engineering (3) or RAS 501 Applied Linear Algebra for Engineers (3)
    • MAE 547 Modeling and Control of Robots (3) or RAS 545 Robotic Systems I (3)
  • Concentration (6 credit hours)
  • Electives or Research (12-18 credit hours)
  • Culminating Experience (0-6 credit hours)
    • EEE 593 Applied Project (3) or
    • EEE 599 Thesis (6) or
    • portfolio (0)

Admission Requirements

  • General university admission requirements: All students are required to meet general university admission requirements.
  • Applicants must fulfill the requirements of both the Graduate College and the Ira A. Fulton Schools of Engineering.
  • Applicants are eligible to apply to the program if they have earned a bachelor's or master's degree in engineering, science, mathematics, or a related field from a regionally accredited institution.
  • Applicants must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 (scale is 4.00 = "A") in the last 60 hours of their first bachelor's degree program or a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 (scale is 4.00 = "A") in an applicable master's degree program.
  • Applicants are required to submit:
    • graduate admission application and application fee
    • official transcripts
    • letter of intent or written statement
    • professional resume
    • proof of English proficiency

Tuition Information

When it comes to paying for higher education, everyone’s situation is different. Students can learn about ASU tuition and financial aid options to find out which will work best for them.


Program Learning Outcomes

Program learning outcomes identify what a student will learn or be able to do upon completion of their program. This program’s learning outcomes include the following:


  • Analyze and apply key sensing, signal processing, and control theories and methods used in this field.
  • Differentiate key concepts within electrical engineering, demonstrate their understanding of those concepts on their portfolio or thesis at the end of their program, and demonstrate the ability to critically think and synthesize information.
  • Understand and apply skills needed in order to select and secure professional employment in an electrical engineering related field by practicing the skills they have learned in their courses and showing they have the ability to work successfully within the electrical engineering field applying concepts from their academic experience, synthesizing knowledge, self-assessment on the student’s part, and teamwork/communication to address societal needs.

Career Opportunities

Graduates of the electrical engineering concentration of the MS program in robotics and autonomous systems are prepared for doctoral study and for industrial positions in numerous and varied industries, including:


  • aerospace
  • defense
  • health care
  • manufacturing
  • transportation

Additional Information

The 24-Month STEM OPT Extension is an additional benefit from United States Citizenship and Immigration Services that allows international students in F-1 status who receive a bachelor’s, master’s, or doctoral degree in an approved STEM field to apply for a 24-month extension of their standard 12-month Post-OPT period, twice in a lifetime. This allows international students the opportunity to gain additional off-campus work experience in their field of study after completion of course studies and Post-OPT. The OPT extension does not apply to students completing a degree through ASU Online.
