Master of Science Civil Engineering

LTU

Our experience with Lawrence Tech grads has been excellent. They are extremely well prepared, energetic, and professional – really top notch.

George Hubbell

Vice president, Hubbell, Roth & Clark, Inc.

We have been uniformly thrilled with our LTU grads. Each has come prepared to work from day one, with solid technical skills and a sound academic foundation. Pragmatic, industrious, inquisitive, and confident are words that describe each of our LTU alums. Along with a few Big Ten schools, LTU is on our short list when we’re looking for new talent to grow our firm.

Meet the LTU Alum:

Javier Alvarez Rodilla, P.E. is a Structural Engineer E3 at Ghafari Associates, Dearborn, Mich.

Education:

  • Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering (BSCE) with entrepreneurial Certificate from LTU
  • Master of Science in Civil Engineering from LTU

The LTU experience:

I was introduced to civil engineering when I was just a kid by my father, who is a civil engineer himself. Growing up, watching him work on numerous projects and going to site visits with him caught my attention. Later on, I began my bachelor of science in civil engineering at Lawrence Tech., and my first class with Dr. (Keith) Kowalkowski sparked my passion for structural engineering. The fact that he was always enthusiastic during his lectures, and that I was always challenged to give my best, encouraged me to pursue my master's degree at Lawrence Tech. While working on my master’s, I also worked with Dr. Kowalkowski as a graduate research scholar. This helped me get two publications in engineering journals and opened many doors and new opportunities.
