Control, Instrumentation, and Robotics
Concentration Information
Control, Instrumentation and Robotics(CIR) or “2-A/6” is one of the most popular concentrations in Course 2-A. This concentration is suited for the students who aim to combine mechanical engineering (design, control, dynamics) with course 6 disciplines such as circuits, power electronics, and algorithms. Compared with “Computing” and “Learning machines and Physical Systems”, CIR focuses more on control of electromechanical systems. As with all 2-A concentrations, there is a great deal of flexibility in designing your curriculum and most upper-level classes from course 2 and 6 may be counted in your concentration.
Concentration Class Suggestions
Recommended REST subjects: 1.00, 6.00, 6.002, 6.041, 6.071
Note: You may only include one introductory/REST subject in your concentration. The following classes from the CS minor are introductory: 6.0001/6.00, 6.042 (REST)/18.200, 6.004 (REST), and 6.008.
