| * The full-time-committed successful students are expected to complete the Robotic Master’s Program within 3 Semesters. However, we recommend 4 semesters to balance course and research work and deepen your research experience in Robotics. |
The students are required to take 3 Core Robotic Courses, one from each of the CENG, EE, and ME Departments. These core courses form the technical backbone of the program. They provide students with solid foundations in computer science, electrical engineering, and mechanical engineering as applied to robotics. Mastery of these courses ensures that students gain the interdisciplinary knowledge essential for designing and implementing advanced robotic systems.
The students must take 4 Interdisciplinary Elective Courses from any department in METU. However, students can take at most 4 courses from the same department. Interdisciplinary electives broaden students’ perspectives and enable them to tailor their expertise to specific application areas such as biomedical robotics, artificial intelligence, or industrial automation. This flexibility fosters innovation at the intersection of different scientific fields.
The students are required to take the "Research Methods and Ethics Course" from the department of their thesis advisor. In this regard, only one of the following courses must be taken: ME 599, EE 595, CENG 590, and AEE 729.
The student must attend the ROB590 course at METU. It strengthens their ability to critically evaluate research, design experiments, and communicate their findings effectively. Moreover, the seminar will also introduce national and international researchers and state-of-the-art robotic research topics to the students.
The students are required to perform research under the supervision of their academic supervisor and write a Master’s Thesis. Students must successfully complete all the Core Robotic and Interdisciplinary Courses to start working on their Master’s Thesis. The thesis will be presented in front of a three-member thesis jury. The Master’s Thesis is the capstone of the program, allowing students to apply their cumulative knowledge to solve a novel research problem in robotics. It fosters independent thinking, problem-solving abilities, and contributes to the advancement of the field.
