Definitely, I am an industrial engineer and i see a lot of expansion in Robotics. You could focus on assembly line robotics or go into the gadget development world. There is a lot of growth in general automation.

1. Freshman Year: Focus on having a good GPA and decide which specific engineering discipline is your interest. Attend the call outs for student organizations in Robotics and be a member. Always speak to the career development center reps. and attend as many events as sponsored by companies in the domain of robotics; build networks.
2. Sophomore Year: Now you are in your major interests, try building up your core skills which are needed for the jobs. Select a couple of student orgs and start being an active contributor and connect skills gained in the classroom to the activities/practical skills in clubs. Continue networking and connecting to alumni of your college in companies of interest. Start with a wider bracket of companies.
3. Junior Year: As you are building up/maturing in your career, focus on landing an internship (at least a Summer or a 6 month or 8 month or 2 internships spanning 6-8 months ). From the start of the year, ensure that you have a singular focus on landing an internship. Keep networking and understand where you stand. If possible, move to a senior role in a student org.
4. Senior Year: Coming back from the internship, focus on your senior design project in robotics. It can be a research project as well but be very careful in choosing the topic and associated mentor so that you know what you are signing up for. Also, prepare for job applications!
