LTU’s program combines academic excellence with a wealth of practical experience. Co-op programs and industry-sponsored projects offer valuable contacts with leading companies and enable you to combine paid on-the-job experience with your studies. You can also participate in the Lear Entrepreneurial Program, which focuses on what it takes to create, promote, and market products and services. Another great opportunity is the Global Engineering program, which arranges for you to work and study abroad – an especially valuable experience that enables you to compete in a global economy.

As an embedded software engineer, you will design and maintain software systems in embedded controllers that work behind the scenes in complex machinery. And LTU’s Bachelor of Science in Embedded Software Engineering offers the curriculum you’ll need to succeed in this field: a strong core of mathematics, science, engineering, and design that also emphasizes the development of analytic and problem-solving skills. Your studies will culminate with a senior capstone design project in which you will synthesize what you have learned in a project of your choosing.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is proven to be a key element in technological innovations in the ever-expanding digital age. As Computer utilization becomes more sophisticated, analyzing problems and programming solutions requires advanced AI algorithms to deal with Big Data such as machine learning, deep learning, data mining, and pattern recognition. The MSAI degree allows students the opportunity to focus on computer science skills combined with applications in numerous scientific areas to provide students a competitive edge in today’s advance technological landscape.

The curriculum is designed to increase your knowledge in one or more of the following areas: analog audio systems, digital audio systems, audio mixing and production, sound cancellation and noise reduction techniques, and other audio applications. With the program’s multi-disciplinary approach, not only will you acquire a background in music production; you’ll also experience the inner workings of studio equipment and the realities of the audio business. And since the program has a history of producing standout graduates who can hit the ground running, you can find employment with broadcast networks, multimedia firms, automotive companies, and in the arts and entertainment industry, using modern technology in the recording, processing, and creation of sound.

Together, the two areas enable biomedical engineers to design procedures and devices that help the medical community diagnose and treat disease and injury, make medical testing less intrusive, enhance the quality of life for people with disabilities, and otherwise improve the practice of medicine. Biomedical engineers work alongside doctors, nurses, and other medical caregivers to develop and improve these technologies.

While civil engineering has always been an important discipline, the demand for civil engineers is stronger than ever. A large part of the anticipated spike in job opportunities is likely the result of the poor condition of the country's infrastructure.

To address this demand, the Civil Engineering program at Lawrence Tech offers a wide breadth of courses in the major civil engineering specialties, which can provide you with a diverse technical background – the kind employers value.

Graduates holding the dual Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering and Bachelor of Science in Architecture degrees are eligible for professional licensure as civil engineers; they will also have completed the coursework necessary to pursue a master’s degree in architecture, the terminal degree required for licensure as an architect.

The Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering includes course work in construction, environmental, geotechnical, hydraulic, and structural engineering. Also addressed are professional issues such as ethics, leadership, and sustainable design. By selecting specific technical electives, you can further specialize in a particular civil engineering subdiscipline.

The Master of Science in Architecture introduces the core skills of creative problem solving and provides a collaborative learning environment in which you explore the various disciplines involved in the creative design process, including urban planning, landscape architecture, building systems, interior architecture, lighting, and applied arts.

The program culminates in a two-semester capstone course in which you undertake challenging team research projects that combine both architecture and engineering.

Lawrence Tech has successfully educated leaders in the fields of design and construction for nearly 90 years.

As a construction manager, you’ll plan, direct, and coordinate a wide variety of projects, including the building of all types of residential, commercial, and industrial structures, roads, bridges, wastewater treatment plants, schools, and hospitals. Whether you work for a company or as an independent consultant, you’ll also oversee the entire project, which includes scheduling and coordinating all design and construction processes, as well as the selection, hiring, and supervision of specialty trade contractors. LTU’s strong construction program will prepare you to assume management, entrepreneurial, and leadership roles after only a few years in the field.

As an electrical engineer, you might work in areas ranging from tiny consumer electronic devices, medical equipment, and computers to automobiles and the massive power-generating apparatus used by utility companies – often using the controlled application of electricity to solve problems. And Lawrence Tech prepares you to succeed with a workforce-ready curriculum. The senior capstone project spans two semesters and includes the design, construction, and testing of an electrical engineering project. Recent projects have inspired students to design innovations such as an award-winning hybrid electric car, a thermal monitoring system for the Detroit Zoo’s Reptile House, a photosensitive robot, and a breath analyzer/vehicle disabler interface.

If this sounds like a fascinating career choice, Lawrence Tech’s Bachelor of Science in Industrial Engineering might be the degree for you. The program covers operations research, modeling and simulation, quality, reliability, product development, system design, statistical methods, facility planning, work design and standardization, engineering management, ergonomics, finance, supply chain, logistics, healthcare systems, and business operations.

Some of the senior electives can be applied towards masters in other engineering and non-engineering programs, making it possible for you to move fast through the academic career path.

Engineering technology professionals use the principles of science, engineering, and mathematics to solve problems in research, product development, manufacturing, marketing, technical sales, services, and maintenance. They play key roles in product development: they might build or test equipment; prepare and conduct experiments; analyze results; build prototype versions of newly designed products and equipment, or conduct research. Others work in quality control – inspecting products and processes. If you enter this field, your role will be a vital one; as society becomes more dependent on technology, the need for experienced engineering technology professionals will increase. In fact, the U.S. Department of Labor expects overall employment in the engineering technology field to grow, and graduates will have a wide variety of career options.

LTU’s mechanical engineering program is built around a core curriculum in manufacturing, mechanical systems, and thermal science. In this program, you will learn how products are designed, manufactured, and tested, as well as the basics of mechanisms and structures, heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and energy conversion. You can choose from six concentrations: alternative energy, automotive, manufacturing, nanotechnology, solid mechanics, and thermal fluids, and can further augment your preparation by pursuing minors in aeronautical engineering or energy engineering. Since many consumer products are electromechanical in nature, a mechatronics sequence is also included.
