Unmanned and Autonomous Vehicles

Did you know that congress passed a bill that by 2025, 1/3 of all combat vehicles will be unmanned? Autonomous systems are the future of the Navy. Systems Engineering is the ideal major to learn about Autonomous Systems. In fact we have two entire classes dedicated to the topic: Mobile Robot Design and Autonomous Vehicles. We bring together our knowledge of sensors, mechanical design and robotics to build some really cool projects!

Cool First Class Design Projects

Every year we ask out Firsties what they thought the best part of our major was. Far and away, the number one response was their 1/c Design Project experience. Students get to dream up any crazy project idea and spend a year designing and bulding it.

Here is one of last year's projects. Everyone knows that one of the biggest casualty sources in Iraq is IEDs, so these Mids decided to study the problem further.
