Robotics Engineer

Educational Req.
A Bachelor of Science degree is required for most entry-level robot
engineering jobs. An undergraduate B.S. degree in robotics engineering,
computer engineering, electro-mechanical engineering, electrical
engineering or mechanical engineering allows graduates to work in robotic
engineering. A master's degree in electrical or mechanical engineering is
necessary for many advanced and managerial positions. A Ph.D. is
required for design and research positions.
Most robot engineers specialize in a certain branch of engineering. Typical
coursework for a robot engineering degree includes advanced math,
physical and life sciences, computer science, computer-aided design and
drafting (CADD), physics, fluid dynamics and materials science. The
Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredits
college and university robot engineering programs.

Description

Robot engineers create service robots for use in outer space, deep under
the sea and in medical surgeries. They also create robots to increase
efficiency and improve quality and safety in industry. Robot engineering
encompasses mechanical, electrical and computer engineering
specialties. Electrical engineers design the robot's electronics, computer
engineers design the robot's computing hardware, software engineers
create the robot's programming and electro-mechanical engineers create
the robot's sensors.

Robots are used in manufacturing, agriculture, mining, aerospace, nuclear


power plants, health care and the military. Robotic engineers may work in
these industries as test engineers, automation system engineers,
programming engineers, robot designers or project managers. The U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov) predicted a growth rate of 5% in
mechanical engineering careers from 2012-2022.
