Re: what colleges have good robotics majors

Cal Poly San Luis Obispo has a massive Enginering program. While there is no robotics major, there is Mechanical, Electrical, Materials, Software, Aero Engineering, etc. All of these disciplines definitely contribute to Robotics. There are also a few Robotics clubs.

While you won't get the kind of education you can at MIT, you will get hands on experience right from your first quarter. As a co-worker of mine said, "At most schools, they teach you about engineering, but at Cal Poly, you learn how to be an engineer."
