Course Overview

Innovations in industrial automation and manufacturing robotics are creating an increased demand for highly skilled robotics and manufacturing engineers. RIT’s robotics and manufacturing engineering technology major prepares you to become an engineer well-versed in advanced manufacturing technologies. Right now, the demand for robotics engineers, manufacturing engineers, and those skilled in designing and integrating automation into manufacturing processes is outweighing the number of students graduating with degrees in robotics engineering, resulting in outstanding employment opportunities for our graduates.

Students in the robotics and manufacturing engineering technology degree acquire skills in a wide variety of disciplines, including course work in automation and robotics, electronics manufacturing, mechatronics, advanced manufacturing processes, and integrated design. The degree’s comprehensive curriculum also includes traditional and non-traditional manufacturing processes, materials technology, computer-aided design, computer-aided manufacturing, controls for manufacturing automation, microprocessors, electrical and electronics principles, surface mount electronics manufacturing, quality control, lean manufacturing, engineering economics, and production and operations management. The uniqueness of this program is its combination of robotics and manufacturing courses and its emphasis on project-based, hands-on education.

The future of robotics in manufacturing has arrived. Today’s manufacturing industry has evolved and its focus is now on advanced manufacturing, which emphasizes:

  • Automation and advanced robotics to increase productivity and execute the precise maneuvers required to assemble small electronic parts.
  • Big data and cloud computing to help manufacturers track and analyze trends and statistics, monitor productivity, and engage in data-supported decision-making.
  • 3D printing to decrease waste and improve output, and reduce the time needed for replacement parts.
  • Artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things, which connect machines and devices and revolutionizes the way machines communicate and function.
  • Augmented reality to create visual designs and simulations.

Entry Requirement 

Admission Requirements:

The admission process, requirements, and guidelines are the same for all undergraduate students. As an international student, you will also be required to demonstrate English language proficiency, and RIT will consider students at all levels of English language proficiency for admission.

You should  apply for undergraduate admission to be considered for these options:

  • Full university admission: If you meet English language proficiency standards, you will be considered for admission to the academic degree program you choose.
  • Conditional university admission: If you do not meet English language proficiency standards you will be considered for admission, and will need to complete additional courses through RIT’s English Language Center in addition to their academic degree program.
