Autonomy Concentration for Interdisciplinary Engineering, MSE or MS

About the Concentration

The 100% online concentration in autonomy (ATNO) offers an area of specialization in the Master of Science in Interdisciplinary Engineering (MSE)/Master of Science (MS) degree. This concentration focuses on the analysis, control and design of autonomous systems spanning various application domains. The courses in this concentration will establish fundamental theories and tools for modeling, analyzing, and developing algorithms to achieve autonomy of both individual systems and a network of interconnected systems. Autonomous systems are playing a significant role in modern society including self-driving cars and other uncrewed vehicles. The autonomy concentration supports current and future engineers facing challenges in designing, analyzing, and controlling autonomous systems in many engineering applications including exploration of unknown areas, search and rescue and package delivery.
