The Master of Engineering (MEng) in Robotics and Automation is our professional graduate program that consists of high-level, fast-paced coursework and significant engagement with industry-driven engineering projects. It prepares our graduates for a professional career path, or further graduate studies at UA or elsewhere.
In comparison to the Master of Science, this professional degree emphasizes skills and practical analysis over the former’s theory and research. Students interested in Master of Engineering in Robotics and Automation will have an opportunity to focus their study on autonomous systems, vehicles, or internet-of-things (IoT) devices. In addition to courses in control systems design and automation technology, the program provides essential training in engineering and business management (ENGR/SIE 514 and ENGR/SIE 514 ), which is not a requirement of the Master of Science degree.

College of Engineering
The College of Engineering was founded when the University of Arizona opened its doors in 1885. Mining was the bedrock of Arizona’s economy at that time, and educating mining engineers was a top priority – indeed, it still is.
As the state’s economy grew and diversified, the College of Engineering continued to play a pivotal role in providing the research and engineering expertise necessary for that growth.
In today’s competitive environment, graduates of the college are the entrepreneurs developing high-tech companies that are creating jobs and improving our quality of life.
An engineering education will provide the research to build new industries and the knowledge for those who run them.
