Johnson & Wales adds robotics degree

PROVIDENCE – Johnson & Wales University’s School of Technology announced today it will offer a new two-year associate degree program, “Robotic Engineering Technology,” in September 2006.

The robotics and automation degree program will include courses in math, science and engineering and has been designed to provide a solid background in this growing field, according to a statement released by the university.

Robotics programs are being developed around the country, from middle schools to universities, but Johnson & Wales is the only New England college to offer an undergraduate degree in robotics, according to the university’s statement. A recent study cited by Johnson & Wales reports that the market for industrial robotics is booming.
