Abstract

© 2017 IEEE. Robotics education is one of the most emerged and demanding fields of modern engineering education. To prepare skilled specialists for industrial needs it is important to create high-quality educational base. Intelligent Robotics Department takes its first steps in developing and implementing a new robotics educational program. This paper reviews Russian robotics education and describes our current work toward program establishing. To evaluate student motivation of connecting their education and further career with robotics we ran a survey among bachelor and master students, which have selected robotics subjects as elective courses. We present results and analysis of the survey, and elaborate on next steps of program development.
