To pursue a career in robotics engineering, students should focus on courses in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and computer science, as robotics research is often housed within these departments. High school students should prioritize advanced math and physics courses, aiming to reach BC Calculus or its equivalent. Participation in FIRST robotics is highly recommended to gain practical experience. Additionally, understanding statistics is beneficial, as it may not be covered in college courses.
PREREQUISITESHigh school students interested in pursuing a career in robotics engineering, educators advising students on course selection, and parents seeking guidance on STEM education pathways.
Take whatever route will get you into BC calculus (if you're in the states) or its equivalent at your high school. Even better if you can also take some multi-variable too, but if it doesn't count for college credit it may not make a difference. Statistics may be worth your time 'cause it's worth knowing and you may not cover it in college. If you give your location, it may be easier to advise you.Thomas916 said:Ok if I want to be a mechanical engineer. What math should I take through Freshmen to Senior year?
