Engineering Technology Master’s Robotics and Autonomous Systems Concentration Degree Overview
The Master of Science in Engineering Technology (MSET) with a Robotics and Autonomous Systems concentration focuses on the development of robotic applications and the use of tools and techniques to automate processes. It is intended for those who want to understand how automated technologies function in practice.
The program covers robot operating systems, autonomous vehicles, and AI and machine learning. Students develop and test software, work with sensors and control components, and apply these tools to support perception, localization, mapping, and control.
With ECPI University’s year-round accelerated schedule, students can complete the program and earn their master’s degree in as little as 13 months.
Knowledge and Skills
Graduates develop capability in the following areas:
- Robotic Application Development:
Develop and implement robotic applications, including programming and testing how they perform.
- Process Automation:
Apply tools and techniques to automate processes and improve how tasks are carried out.
- Software and System Integration:
Develop and test software while working with sensors and actuators that support system operation.
- Autonomous Systems:
Work with AI-driven technologies that allow systems to sense their environment, make decisions, and control movement.
Flexible Learning Environments
Our campuses provide an immersive classroom setting, interacting directly with professors and classmates in real-time. Benefit from face-to-face discussions, hands-on labs, and the immediate support of instructors.
Flexible and convenient, online learning allows you to study on your own time, from anywhere. Access lectures, lab simulations, and course materials online, collaborating with classmates through virtual forums and discussions.
To enhance flexibility, many campus courses are delivered via synchronous hybrid format, where students engage in both online learning activities and real-time interactions with instructors and classmates.
