Program Overview

The Bachelor of Science in Engineering program with a concentration in Robotics is designed to prepare graduates to collaborate across disciplines to design and build solutions to practical problems. The program enables students to develop sophisticated technical skills in tandem with the professional skills of communication, teamwork, collaboration, self-motivation, and adaptability.

Program Description

The program's emphasis on open-ended design and project-based learning supports the development of entrepreneurial skills and attitudes. Students in the robotics concentration of the BSE program build a broad engineering foundation to which they add the skills and knowledge they need to contribute robotics subject matter expertise on transdisciplinary engineering teams. This expertise includes electromechanical systems, sensor and actuator integration, embedded digital systems application, and design and analysis of dynamic systems.

Accreditation

The program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, under the General Criteria and the Engineering, General Engineering, Engineering Physics, and Engineering Science Program Criteria.

Curriculum

The curriculum provides significant hands-on experience designing and implementing robotics systems to meet the needs of users. Students can view the 2025-2026 curriculum and curriculum archives.

Concurrent Program Options

Students pursuing concurrent degrees earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. Working with their academic advisors, students can create their own concurrent degree combination. Some combinations are not possible due to high levels of overlap in curriculum.

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.

Admission Requirements

All students are required to meet general university admission requirements.

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.

Change of Major Requirements

A current ASU student must have a minimum cumulative ASU GPA of 2.00.

Transfer Options

ASU is committed to helping students thrive by offering tools that allow personalization of the transfer path to ASU. Students may use MyPath2ASU to outline a list of recommended courses to take prior to transfer.

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:

• Design engineering systems including components, and processes to meet needs within realistic constraints including social, political, economic, ethical, health and safety, manufacturing and/or sustainability.
• Communicate engineering findings to colleagues, clients, other stakeholders and the public in written, oral and graphical form.
• Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics.

Global Opportunities

Study abroad enables students to gain valuable, resume-building experience. Participation in a Global Education program provides students with the heightened cultural competency, and leadership and critical thinking skills that help them stand out in a competitive industry.

Career Opportunities

Engineers on transdisciplinary teams collaborate to design, manufacture and deliver innovative technological products and services. Robotics plays an increasingly important role in many industries, including manufacturing, automotive, defense systems, biomedical devices, and aerospace.

Professional Licensure

ASU programs that may lead to professional licensure or certification are intended to prepare students for potential licensure or certification in Arizona. Completion of an ASU program may not meet educational requirements for licensure or certification in another state.
