B.S. in Robotics
Biola's B.S. in Robotics program is a robotics engineering major designed to equip students for work and advanced study in robotics and robotic technology. Students will learn modeling, design, programming and control of robotic platforms, and gain a solid understanding of real-world applications of computation, sensing and actuation. The program will also provide students with a foundational knowledge of computer science, mathematics, physics and engineering, including mechanical engineering.
Skilled and ethical robotics engineers with knowledge of electrical engineering, automation systems, computer engineering and general robotics engineering technology are in increasing demand as robotics systems become integrated deeper into business processes. As with most engineering majors, robotics engineers are positioned to earn strong salaries while furthering health and opportunity at both micro and macro community levels. Biola's B.S. in Robotics will position students to enter and succeed within the expanding opportunities in the field of robotics and engineering.
While many universities offer select classes or degrees with a robotics emphasis, Biola’s B.S. in Robotics will develop your skills specifically in this field. In addition to deepening your knowledge of engineering, algorithms, mathematics and computer science, you will:
- Learn how to think innovatively about robotics and control as you apply your knowledge of robotic systems, artificial intelligence and algorithms to design and program smart, ethical robots.
- Gain focused, specialized training with robots. As part of your studies, you will work with faculty to pitch concepts and create the robots using industry standard engineering methods that you want to build rather than being tasked to build a predetermined design.
- Customize your future career. A wide range of elective courses and capstone projects will allow you to shape the path for your future in the field of robotics.
- Expand your view of yourself, the world and the field of robotics through biblically integrated curriculum. Develop your character as you find ways to serve society through the creation of useful, ethical robots and exemplify Christ in the classroom and in the field.
- Pursue certification in CSWA (Certified SOLIDWORKS Associate) and CSWP (Certified SOLIDWORKS Professional) to enhance your skills and stand out in today's competitive job market.
- Well-equipped laboratories at the Lim Center offer hands-on experience and opportunities to put your learning into action.
- Be mentored by expert faculty who integrate their Christian faith into their lives as researchers, teachers and ministers in local or global communities. Students have opportunities to be involved in directed research with faculty, participate in presentations at various conferences and co-author peer-reviewed journal articles.
