[Gui Cavalcanti]

I've switched majors to a Robotics Concentration under the General Engineering degree at Olin. It's working fairly well, and I just wanted to let other interested college students know what the coursework looks like:

Core Engineering Requirements:
Solids and Structures
Dynamics
Mechanical Design
Software Design
Controls

Core Math Requirements:
Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos
Partial Differential Equations

Electives:
Robotics
Artificial Intelligence

Related General-Requirement Olin Courses:
Materials Science
Vector Calculus
Linear Algebra
General Mechanics & Calculus

I've also done a few independent studies in controlling brushless servomotors, building snake robots, and building a compliant biped. Feel free to drop me a line if you have any questions about designing your own robotics major - my approach is fairly mechanically heavy, and don't think that's a requirement by any means.
