The MRSD program distinguishes itself by offering a quality education in the sciences and technologies of robotics through extensive hands-on laboratory and project work, coupled with invaluable experiences in project and business management. The goal of MRSD is to provide students with an experience unique from any other by teaching both the technical and business skills needed to succeed in the competitive technology industry. MRSD likely requires a higher level of peer engagement than other graduate programs, as students complete a 2-semester project in teams. Through a combination of classroom learning, hands-on projects, and an internship, students will graduate and enter the workforce at higher technical and/or managerial levels since they are armed with a comprehensive education and improved communication skills.
