My son is taking ME and I just can't see how one could take all the required courses and also take courses that would apply to robotics. At least in a 4 year program. In 4 years he will only have 2 elective slots that could be applied and that is with 18 credits per semester. Now if you extended the undergraduate program to 5 years then there would be time for robotics subjects or like others said get your ME in 4 and a graduate degree in automation for six years of study. Don't skimp on the core base in your base curriculum.
