About the Robotics Minor

The Robotics Minor at UMass Lowell is an interdisciplinary program from the departments of Computer Science (CS), Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE), and Mechanical Engineering (ME). These three fields form the foundation of robotics.



Students from any appropriate major: including CS, ECE, and ME, are eligible to enroll in this Minor. The Robotics Minor provides you with a true interdisciplinary program in robotics, while allowing you to receive an undergraduate degree in the major of your choice.
