If a US engineering BS is just an intro compared to other countries, what do Canadian or UK students learn that we don't? The shoddy programs probably miss some stuff, but I feel like anything beyond my undergrad would be firmly in the subject specialist territory (AKA what a Masters or PhD is...
What are the current problems and limiting factors in robotics and automation? Where is the technology likely to be in 5-10 years? I mean this in the broad sense of anything from industrial robotic arms to driverless cars to embedded control systems.
