combine robotics engineering knowledge with entrepreneurship andintrapreneurship opportunities, and to bring an entrepreneurial mindset to the to the field ofrobotics engineering;ABET accreditation: ABET accreditation is a requirement of all engineering bachelor degrees atLawrence Tech. As stated previously, there is no degree accreditation for the RoboticsEngineering discipline, at this time. Accreditation of the program will be done by theEngineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) of ABET under the General-Basic Level Criteria.A detailed assessment plan has been developed for the BS in Robotics Engineering and is kept asan internal document within the mechanical engineering department. The first students enteredthe program in the fall of 2011
