Re: Does Purdue University have a Robotics major/minor/course/certificate program?

The only robotics studies I know of here at Purdue as a Mechanical Engineering student are Technical Electives for Mechanical Engineering. The classes are:

ME 572 Analysis and Design of Robotic Manipulators
ME 588 Mechatronics
ECE 321 Electromechanical Motion Devices
ECE 569 Introduction to Robotic Systems
IE 574 Industrial Robotics and Flexible Assembly

There is also ME 297F which is the class for PurdueFIRST Programs. PurdueFIRST Programs is an organization that sponsors 3 FRC teams, numerous FLL and VEX teams, and the Boilermaker Regional. PurdueFIRST programs also has many sub teams within itself such as Industrial Relations, Information Technology, Public Relations, Regional Development, and of course the FRC, FLL, and VEX teams.

These are the only robotics studies at Purdue that I am familiar with but that doesn't mean that they're aren't more.
