Engineers are creative problem-solvers who help shape the future. Few professions unleash the spirit of innovation like engineering.
The BSE program in engineering prepares graduates to collaborate across disciplines to design and build solutions to real-world problems.
Bachelor of Science in Engineering students apply fundamental engineering knowledge and design thinking to real projects every semester. Students in the robotics concentration of the program build a broad engineering foundation to which they add the skills and knowledge they will need to contribute robotics subject matter expertise on transdisciplinary engineering teams. This expertise includes electromechanical systems, sensor and actuator integration, embedded digital systems application, and design and analysis of dynamic systems. The robotics curriculum also provides significant hands-on experience designing and implementing robotics systems to meet the needs of users.
The program enables students to develop sophisticated technical skills in tandem with the professional skills of communication, teamwork, collaboration, self-motivation and adaptability, and the program's emphasis on open-ended design and project-based learning supports the development of entrepreneurial skills and attitudes.
Accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the General Criteria and the Engineering, General Engineering, Engineering Physics, and Engineering Science Program Criteria.
This program may be eligible for an Optional Practical Training extension for up to 36 months. This OPT work authorization term may help international students gain skills and experience in the U.S. Those interested in an OPT extension should review ASU degrees that qualify for the STEM-OPT extension at ASU's International Students and Scholars Center website.
The OPT extension only applies to students on an F-1 visa and does not apply to students completing the degree through ASU Online.

Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
General university admission requirements:
All students are required to meet general university admission requirements.
First-year | Transfer | International | Readmission
A current ASU student must have a minimum cumulative ASU GPA of 2.00.
Students should visit the Change of Major form for information about how to change a major to this program.
ASU is committed to helping students thrive by offering tools that allow personalization of the transfer path to ASU. Students may use MyPath2ASU® to outline a list of recommended courses to take prior to transfer.
ASU has transfer partnerships in Arizona and across the country to create a simplified transfer experience for students. These pathway programs include exclusive benefits, tools and resources, and they help students save time and money in their college journey.
Program learning outcomes identify what a student will learn or be able to do upon completion of their program. This program has the following program outcomes:
- Design engineering systems including components, and processes to meet needs within realistic constraints including social, political, economic, ethical, health and safety, manufacturing and/or sustainability.
- Communicate engineering findings to colleagues, clients, other stakeholders and the public in written, oral and graphical form.
- Identify, formulate, and solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, science, and mathematics (ABET)
Study abroad enables students to gain valuable, resume-building experience. Participation in a Global Education program provides students with the heightened cultural competency, and leadership and critical thinking skills that will help them stand out in a competitive industry.
Whether in a foreign country, in the U.S. or online, students build communication skills, are challenged to adapt and persevere, are exposed to research and internships across the world, and increase their professional network.
Engineers on transdisciplinary teams collaborate to design, manufacture and deliver innovative technological products and services.
Robotics plays an increasingly important role in many different industries, including manufacturing, automotive, defense systems, biomedical devices and aerospace.
Graduates from this program have a broad base of technical knowledge in the design and implementation of robotic electromechanical systems. In addition, they have the operational and communication skills that make them invaluable members of multidisciplinary engineering teams and well-suited for employment across the whole spectrum of applications. They are prepared to work in large corporations, government agencies and small businesses, and to go on to graduate school to pursue advanced degrees. Some graduates start companies of their own.

3 year programs
These programs allow students to fast-track their studies after admission and earn a bachelor's degree in three years or fewer while participating in the same high-quality educational experience of a 4-year option. Students should talk to their academic advisor to get started.
Accelerated master's
These programs allow students to accelerate their studies to earn a bachelor's plus a master's degree in as few as five years (for some programs).
Each program has requirements students must meet to be eligible for consideration. Acceptance to the graduate program requires a separate application. Students typically receive approval to pursue the accelerated master’s during the junior year of their bachelor's degree program. Interested students can learn about eligibility requirements and how to apply.
