Choose one course from this list to fulfill the Robotics Engineering (RE) Approved Elective requirement. These courses include some element of human and computer or technology interaction.

Robotic Engineering (RE) Approved Electives (choose 3 credits):

HF 2000 Engineering Psychology (3 cr) Fall

HU 3710 Engineering Ethics (3 cr) (UN 1015 and (UN1025 or Modern Language -3000 level or higher) Spring

HF 3850 Human Factors (3 cr) PSY 2000 or HF 2000; Even Springs (alternating) Replaced PSY 3850

PSY 4010 Cognitive Psychology ( 3 cr) PSY 2000 Fall

PSY 4160 Sensation and Perception ( 3 cr) BL 1040 or BL1020 PSY 2000 or HF 2000 On Demand alternating years (Check with Cog. Sci Dept.)

PSY 4870 Human-Centered Design (3 cr) On Demand (Check with Cog. Sci Dept.)

PSY 3860 Human Performance ( 3 cr) PSY 2000 JR or SR; On Demand (Check with Cog. Sci Dept.) ?

This applies to the RE 2021-2022 flowchart and earlier flowcharts.

1. The prereq/coreq for EE 2180, Introduction to Robotics has changed. The original course sequence stays the same.
– EE3010, Circuits and Instrumentation for CPS,  is now a required prerequisite or co-requisite (Concurrent prerequisite)and – Linear Algebra, accelerated(MA 2321) or non-accelerated(MA 2320), is now a required prerequisite or co-requisite (Concurrent prerequisite)
2. In semester 5, students choose either EE 3160(3), Signals and Systems, or MEEM 3750(4), Dynamics.  (previously only EE 3160 is listed)
3. In semester 6, take EE 3261, Control Systems. Previously students chose either EE 3261 or MEEM 3750. MEEM 3750 pairs better with EE 3160 topics. Those originally planning to take MEEM 3750 in place of EE3261, take EE 3261. See Judy if you already took MEEM 3750 instead of EE 3261.
4. Beginning Fall 2022, SAT2711, Linux Fundamentals, becomes a 3 credit course. The 4th credit can be ‘made up’ with one credit of ‘free electives’. (just about anything except co-curricular activities)
Update your flowchart with these changes or replace it with this flowchart. See Judy if you need help planning with these changes.
5. EE 3280, Robot Operating System, is now offered in Fall semesters, instead of Spring semesters, beginning Fall 2022. Update your flowcharts accordingly.
6. Elective list updates will need advisor adjustment in your degree audit, if taken. HU 2000 and HF 3850 are valid “RE Approved Elective”. EE 4777 and EE 4262 are valid “RE Technical Electives”. EE 4737 is a valid “Directed RE Technical Elective”.

The Robotics Engineering degree encompasses the three disciplines of Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Computer Science.

Students develop skills and knowledge to find creative solutions to engineering problems involving robots or robotic systems. Joining the Robotic Systems Enterprise (RSE), where students work in the research and design of robotic systems, is encouraged!

Engineering Design requirements: student have two choices, the year-long company-sponsored Senior Design program (EE4901/MEEM4901 + EE4910/MEEM4911) and four semesters of Enterprise project work. The approved enterprises for meeting engineering design requirements are:
Aerospace, Blue Marble Security, Robotic Systems, and Wireless Communications. Other will be considered for UPC approval on a case by case basis.
