Artificial Intelligence, Automation, Autonomous Systems, Engineering, Engineering Design, Robotics, Robots, approved for STEM-OPT extension
Are you interested in constructing our future with robots? Learn to meet the most difficult challenges of modern robotics and autonomous systems on a global scale. You'll find rewarding careers in every industrial sector.
Autonomous systems are those that can work for an extended period without human control or intervention --- such as driverless cars or autonomous mobile robots.
The Bachelor of Science in Engineering program in robotics and autonomous systems provides you with a well-rounded education in robotics, controls, autonomous systems and automation. It's develops your general expertise in robotics and autonomous systems, including both theory and application of robotics and autonomous systems technologies, systems integration and data fusion techniques, and modeling and simulation development.
You learn to perform analysis, evaluation and synthesis for a wide variety of problems related to the design, implementation and efficient operation of robotics and autonomous systems.

Program term definitions
Accelerated programs allow students the opportunity to expedite the completion of their degree.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master's during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
Concurrent degrees allow students to pursue their own personal or professional interests, earn two distinct degrees and receive two diplomas. To add a concurrent degree to your existing degree, work with your academic advisor.
Joint programs, or jointly conferred degrees, are offered by more than one college and provide opportunities for students to take advantage of the academic strengths of two academic units. Upon graduation, students are awarded one degree and one diploma conferred by two colleges.
ASU adds new programs to Degree Search frequently. Come back often and look for the "New Programs" option.
ASU Online offers programs in an entirely online format with multiple enrollment sessions throughout the year. See https://asuonline.asu.edu/ for more information.
