Re: what colleges have good robotics majors

This is what an engineering professor at a Penn State branch told me:

"Don't worry about your school having a robotics program. You won't be able to get into it in your bachelors degree education anyways. Speciality courses and work study perhaps, but you cannot get a useful "robotics Bachelors" from anywhere. Get a non-specific engineering degree, get a job, then go back for your graduates in something more specific."

It sounds pretty realistic, and it makes a lot of sense. Theres a lot of engineering disciplines to get into before you can even seriously break the ice into robotics.
