Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering, B.S.E./Electrical and Computer Engineering, M.S., Combined B.S.E/M.S.

The Combined BSE/MS in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineeering (BSE) and Electrical and Computer Engineering (MS) allows 8-credits of 5000 level courses to be counted towards both the undergraduate and graduate degree.

Students who have achieved major standing in BSE in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering wishing to enroll in the combined program at the end of their sophomore year are required to have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.4 and meet the admission requirements to the graduate degree in MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Students satisfying these requirements are eligible to apply to the combined program and be offered deferred admission to the graduate program at the beginning of their junior year.

Students who have achieved major standing in BSE in MRE wishing to join the program after their junior year are required to have a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.2 and meet the admission requirements to the graduate degree in MS in Electrical and Computer Engineering. Students satisfying these requirements are eligible to apply to the combined program and be offered deferred admission to the graduate program at the beginning of their senior year.

After receiving deferred admission to the graduate program, students can enroll in 8-credits of cross-listed 5000-level courses that will be double counted to both satisfy the undergraduate and graduate degrees. A table is provided below to help students decide which courses to double count. The table provides a list of all cross-listed courses in the program with information on how they can count towards both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Each course can only satisfy one requirement in the undergraduate degree and one requirement in the graduate degree.

Students offered deferred admission will remain classified as undergraduates until they have completed all undergraduate degree requirements. At that time, students who have maintained an overall undergraduate GPA 3.0 and have earn a B or better in each double-counted graduate course, will be reclassified as graduate students through the Graduate School.

To be eligible for the Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering, B.S.E/Electrical and Computer Engineering, M.S. option, students must:

Have achieved Major Standing in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering
Have a cumulative GPA of 3.4, if applying in their sophomore year.
Have a cumulative GPA of 3.0, if applying in their junior year.
Apply for and received delayed admission to the M.S. program before taking any of the double-counted graduate courses. Maximum double-counting is 8 credits.
Maintain a minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA to completion of the degree in Mechatronics and Robotics Engineering, B.S.E.
Achieve a B or better in each 5000-level course for it to be counted towards the M.S. program.
