Build a strong foundation for a career in a fast-growing and fast-evolving engineering sector.
The robotics master’s program at Stevens, offered by the Department of Mechanical Engineering, gives students an edge in a competitive and multidisciplinary profession where a mastery of modeling, design, research, and implementation skills is just as important as the next big idea.
This distinctive master’s degree program exposes students to both the mathematical foundations of robotics, and relevant hands-on laboratory projects in robotics and mechatronics. The robotics master's degree program integrates the study of fundamentals in robot modeling, analysis, design, and control with modern and advanced applications of robotics technology to meet today’s specialized needs within the industry. The curriculum is designed to ensure that graduating students are well-prepared for a future that will increasingly demand multidisciplinary training for engineers, especially for careers involving robotics, automation, and autonomous and intelligent systems.
Robotics graduates will be prepared to solve complex engineering problems, position emerging technologies, lead the development of high-quality products, manage projects and maintain exacting standards in a fast-evolving economy.
Stevens is located just across the river from New York City where there is an increasing demand for robotics engineering professionals with a background in mechanical engineering. As the first department established at Stevens, mechanical engineering remains one of its strengths and a continuing source of innovation, playing a leading role in the institute’s research and educational activities in robotics. As an inherently multidisciplinary subject, the robotics master’s degree also enriches its Mechanical Engineering core with a wide selection of relevant elective course offerings from Stevens’ Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering Departments.

Compared to the other schools, Stevens made me feel like it wanted me to attend as opposed to competing for a spot to attend.
Especially with how busy things have been for some of them, that has been impressive. A couple of them have even taken time to just chat with me.
Despite being remote, I got hands on experience with components that I would have not seen if not for the project inclusion.
Although there are several mechanical engineering core classes, there are elective courses within computer science, computer engineering, math, and electrical engineering.
The professors are very knowledgeable their fields and are easily accessible to help with any course material you may have trouble with whether you are an undergraduate, graduate, or Ph.D. student.
While values and conditions may be idealized for simplicity, they offer insight into the types of problems roboticists face and the methodologies to solve them.
This has allowed me to explore a wider range of engineering topics and career opportunities than were previously available to me prior to my graduate career.
While some courses may include tests and homework, the addition of projects allows one to really apply the knowledge they have learned in a course to solve concrete problems.
Mechanical engineering faculty members include highly respected researchers, instructors and innovators who hold patents and have pioneered groundbreaking research in the field of engineering.
