How to Get a Degree in Robotics?

1.
Step 1

Join a Botball team if your middle school has one. Botball teams design, build and program a team of robots to compete against other teams in tournaments.
2.
Step 2

Advance to First Robotics Competition at the high school level. The FRC teams design and build robots to solve a problem in scheduled competitions. Teamwork and learning to overcome obstacles are abilities that are developed.
3.
Step 3

Focus on developing your knowledge in mathematics, science and computers in middle school and high school.
4.
Step 4

Work to earn good grades in high school and achieve good scores on your SAT or ACT test.
5.
Step 5

Seek admission to a college with a program accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
6.
Step 6

Attend laboratory sessions and take design classes as part of your engineering degree. Develop creative skills needed to create robots previously undreamed of.
7.
Step 7

Earn a bachelor's degree in a field that is relevant to designing robots, such as mathematics or physical science, as well as electrical, electronics, mechanical, and civil engineering. Robotics engineers need a bachelor's for entry-level jobs.
