Honors Major - Robotics and Control Engineering
We are one of the select engineering departments 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. The following course program is effective Fall 2024 (Academic Year 25).
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).

The Robotics and Control Engineering with Honors program is only three credits more than the standard, and does not involve overloading your schedule.
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.
