Program Overview
Mechanical Engineering is currently fast integrating the rapid strides in Artificial Intelligence technologies like self driving cars, smart machinery/equipment, and robotics. This has created a great demand for Mechanical Engineers with Data Science capabilities across manufacturing, chemical, and automobile industries. The Master’s in Mechanical Engineering with a dual specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics was created to meet this need of the hour.
To help students leap forward and make the best use of these technologies, INSOFE’s expertise in data science is combined with Case School of Engineering’s prowess in engineering and technology. The Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department at Case School of Engineering offers courses in both computational solid mechanics and biologically inspired robotics for students to choose from upon completing their data science training with INSOFE in India.
The 30 credit master’s requirements are split equally between INSOFE and Case Western Reserve University. Students will learn concepts such as foundations of data science skills, machine learning algorithms, and sequential decision making with INSOFE (India).
Following this, students will travel to Case School of Engineering (USA) to complete the rest of the degree requirements.
Students will be eligible to receive 3 Years OPT upon successfully graduating from the dual specialization master’s degree.
