Honors Major - Robotics and Control Engineering

We are the only engineering department at the Naval Academy to offer an honors major.  The program combines more rigorous course work with an open ended research experience.  The honors designation will appear on your diploma.  More details can be found below.

Admission

Students who have selected Robotics and Control Engineering and are near the top of their class, will be invited to the Robotics and Control Engineering Honors Program at end of the 3/C year.

Course Work

The program involves taking Honors versions of three standard Robotics and Control Engineering courses (EW305H, EW306H and EW503) and one advanced technologies capstone course (EW502).

Research Experience

Beginning in the 2/C (junior) year students undertake background research, then  write and present an in depth proposal for their research project.  During the 1/C year they work closely with a faculty mentor on a semester long research project.   Many of our students have published their work at national engineering conferences. Some sample projects appear on the Project Showcase.
