<p>The ASEE data for 2008 shows: </p>
<p>32 robotics freshman,
40 sophomores,
22 Juniors and only
3 Seniors with only
2 degrees awarded. </p>
<p>2007 data was similar. Why are robotics majors voting with their feet?</p>
<p>where do you find this data?</p>
<p>dude, they just started this program in 2007. do your homework!</p>
<p>Yeah. The data means that the program is GROWING, not necessarily that people are leaving. </p>
<p>But I do know people who leave robotics to go into ECE or CS, which makes sense because they are related fields. It's also possible that people want a degree in Electrical Engineering and not robotics, because people are familiar with the name and it sounds more conventional.</p>
