Title: Underappreciated Robotics School
Post by: Goldenlance on March 13, 2015, 12:33:15 PM
Hello!

There are lists of "top 10" schools all over, but honestly I'm not that smart.
I just got my Masters in Physics but want to change my field of interest to Robotics. What schools do you feel are under appreciated? Ideally a place where I could be supported to start from scratch. USA, but any state.

If you were the definition of a 3.0 student, where would you apply?

Does anyone know of any schools that are just forming a Robotics program?

If I were to try to form a background in Robotics without school, what things could I do that would be resume worthy?

 :) Hello!
I would offer my opinion.
I am rather old, (relatively) and I dreamed of working in robotics,
before it was a common thing today. I was super - poor, :( so I had
to opt for my dream, ;D but balanced with survival( get paid) >:(
I got a degree in Electronics and Mechanical drafting/design, and this
gave me the opportunity to pursue my goal(s). I have had several
opportunities to get a job in industry, and now, have greater potential
(experience) to get a job in pure robotics. Whatever path you take,
prepare for the unexpected; Fortune favors the prepared, little children,
and Starships called Enterprise.
Good Luck!   ;)
