1

PlusOne students who have already successfully completed System Analysis and Control (ME 4555) may substitute Robot Mechanics and Control (ME 5250) for Control Systems Engineering (ME 5659). In such cases a different course must be taken to satisfy the mechanics competency.

2

It is the student’s responsibility to identify a project/thesis advisor before registering for this course.

3

Thesis option is required for all students who receive financial support from the university in the form of a research, teaching, or tuition assistantship.
