<p>I love robotics and I was wondering what type of Engineering I would need to major in to study it.</p>
<p>Electrical. You'd also want to have some understanding of mechanical and computer, depending on the specific nature of your interest.</p>
<p>You can either do Mech E or EE depending on what you really want to do.
Do you want to do more of the deisgn or the programing or the wireing? I thought about taking the Systems route which here is a MechE / EE hybird type thing or getting a general engineering degree, or even a Mech E with a concentration with robotics.
But no, Im thinking its EE with a robotics side track right now. Things changed once I got here.</p>
<p>I really wanted to do Mech/Aero for undergrad but I also love robotics ... so is EE the only way to go?</p>
<p>No, you can definitely be a mech eng and go into robotics.</p>
<p>Do take a couple of EE courses, though, just so you know something about circuitry. Last I checked, most robots run on electricity.</p>
<p>haha, coal fired steam engine robotics.</p>
<p>i'd assume as an me you'd be required to take a few ee courses. for aerospace at ucsd, i'm required to take linear circuits, signals and systems, and a few others...obviously not bringing me up to the level of an ece, but giving me something to play with.</p>
