Program Structure

The students are required to complete 64 credits. In first two semesters, students focus on core courses on foundational topics in Mathematics, Control, Optimization, AI and ML, and Perception. They also take one lab course in each semester. Students select their project advisor after the first semester. During summer, students can undertake internship with consent of Advisor. The summer internship is optional. They also start their project work. In third semester students complete their coursework requirement by taking elective courses on specialized topics based on their interests. They continue to work on their project. In their final semester, students work on and complete their project. To know more about the program please click below.
