The University of Wisconsin–Madison offers dozens of ways to integrate robotics into student coursework. Available courses range from Biomedical Engineering to Human-Robot interactions. Student work includes interplanetary exploration, automation of household tasks, and even build robots that can teach children how to read.
This is not a degree program and will not appear on a student’s transcript. Students should consult with their advisor about how to integrate appropriate courses into their official degree program.
