Re: WPI to offer 1st major in robotics

First of all, wow! Can't believe they actually started one of these programs. It's really cool that they are integrating a plethora of engineering elements into the curriculum (MechE, EE, BioE (in biomimetics), and CE (computer engineering)). The field is really hot and is going to get really hot. It looks really fun, but I have one question:

Will you be able to get a job or internship with a Robotics degree outside of the WPI area or will employers still demand you get a degree in a more traditional field? (This is a question that a lot of Bioengineering programs face because even though there will be a demand for them down the road, it is harder to find jobs in BioE or BME now, so getting the degree in a traditional field will help, especially at colleges (e.g. Duke) where the field may either be too specialized and/or where the program is not strong enough (does not give students both a strong background in fundamentals and engineering design experience).)
