FAQs

• What career paths do graduates usually follow?
  
  Graduates work in robotics companies, aerospace and automotive industries, medical robotics, manufacturing, AI-driven tech firms, or continue into PhD programs in robotics, mechanical engineering, or related fields.
• Are work or research experiences required for admission?
  
  Prior research, internships, or project work in robotics, automation, or engineering design are not mandatory but can significantly strengthen an application.
• What academic background is required for admission?
  
  Applicants should have a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, robotics, electrical engineering, computer science, or a closely related technical field. Strong preparation in mathematics (linear algebra, calculus, differential equations) and programming is expected.
• Is there a thesis requirement?
  
  The program is primarily coursework-based, but students may choose to pursue a research project or master’s thesis if they are interested in research. This is optional and requires faculty approval.
• What is the MEAM MSE program with a Robotics focus at Penn?
  
  It is a master’s program under the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics that allows students to specialize in robotics. The program combines mechanical design, controls, perception, and computation to prepare students for careers in robotics and intelligent systems.
