WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. \u2014 Purdue University is offering three new online engineering master\u2019s degrees centered around autonomous and connected systems (ACS) \u2014 autonomy, the Internet of Things (IoT) and robotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Purdue\u2019s trio of 100% online ACS degrees includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRobotics, autonomous systems and the Internet of Things are revolutionizing society by creating new capabilities in essentially every sector,\u201d said Shreyas Sundaram, the Marie Gordon Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering<\/a> in Purdue\u2019s College of Engineering<\/a> and co-director of the Institute for Control, Optimization and Networks<\/a> (ICON). \u201cUnderstanding the key concepts, algorithms and frameworks for these subjects, beyond what is provided by an undergraduate degree, will be critical to harnessing the potential of these emerging technologies. A master\u2019s degree in these subjects is a perfect way to equip oneself with the skills and knowledge required to be successful in these burgeoning areas.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The anytime, anywhere online format makes Purdue\u2019s online engineering programs accessible for working professionals looking to expand their knowledge and boost their skills and careers infields that are important today and likely to be even more so tomorrow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The online courses are developed and taught by the same faculty who teach on Purdue\u2019s flagship campus, ranked as the No. 8 public university in the U.S.<\/a> by QS World University Rankings. Purdue\u2019s online engineering graduate programs are ranked No. 3 nationally<\/a> by U.S. News & World Report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPurdue has a very strong engineering program with many outstanding faculty who have a wide range of expertise in both classical theories in control, optimization and networks, and in recent advances in AI, machine learning and data science with applications in autonomy, IoT and robotics,\u201d said Shaoshuai Mou, the Elmer Bruhn Associate Professor of Aeronautics and Astronautics and ICON co-director.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The faculty lineup includes world leaders in groundbreaking research covering all three of the subject areas, Sundaram said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe master\u2019s degrees in robotics, autonomy and IoT from Purdue will allow students to learn from these leading experts and to be a part of an exciting and dynamic environment that is defining the next generation of these fields,\u201d Sundaram said. \u201cThe Purdue MS degrees in robotics, autonomy and IoT are an outstanding springboard for students to launch their careers in these important fields.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information on Purdue\u2019s fully online engineering master\u2019s degrees and other online offerings, including those in autonomy, IoT and robotics, visit the Robert H.
