Concentrations

Personalized Curriculum

Trainees will have the choice of five areas of study.  Concentration areas were chosen based on the current challenges of integrating robots in the workplace.    After admission to the program, trainees will work with our associate program director to determine which concentration is the best fit.  These courses are in addition to the student’s current major course of study, ideally adding one course each year during years two through four.  The human-centered graduate courses paired with traditional STEM training will provide students with important interdisciplinary perspectives.
