Going towards robotics

College Majors Engineering Majors
1

<p>Hello I am a 19 year old undergraduate college student that is interested in the field of robotics but I’m not sure in what direction to go in. I am planning to transfer to a university or institute of technology to earn a PhD, Computer science and Engineering are the only courses my college offers that to my understanding are related to robotics. I am planning to double major, would these two programs help me go in the right path to robotics or am I missing something? Having more opportunities for employment or high a income is not as important to me, what's important to me is enjoying what i do and having an outstanding knowledge about everything that has to do with robots for example; designing, building, programming, controlling, repairing, etc. I am planning to take electives like mathematics and physics, i read through plenty of forums that recommend different options but which one would be the right combination of two majors or just one major that provides all robotics technology.</p>

<p>mechatronics or robotic engineering?
computer science/electronic engineering,
computer science/mechanical engineering,
computer science/robotic engineering,
computer science/computer engineering
robotic engineering/computer engineering,
robotic engineering/mechatronics
mechatronics/computer science
mechatronics/computer engineering
computer engineering/electronic engineering</p>

<p>Thank you</p>

<p>I’d probably do just mechatronics, at least for starters. If you figure out later (e.g. in two years) that you want to “expand” to something else, then how about making that decision then, when you know more about the field, not now.</p>

<p>Also, study is study, doing is doing. Any course you take which you cannot apply or turn into a bunch of thoughts, may be pointless or at least perhaps time “less well” spent.</p>
