The campus will remain closed until 12 noon Thursday, 02/13/25. Students should log into Canvas for specific class information from their instructors. Please contact event organizers for information on specific activities. Normal operations will resume at 12pm on Thursday.

A. Leon Linton Department of

Mechanical, Robotics, and Industrial Engineering

Mechanical, industrial, and robotics engineers inspire others through their ingenuity, technical know-how, and keen analytical skill.

They’ve created some of the world’s greatest inventions while also solving very tough technical problems. If you aspire to change the world through great engineering, think about majoring in one of the degrees offered in the A. Leon Linton Department of Mechanical, Robotics, and Industrial Engineering.

Whether you choose mechanical, robotics, or industrial engineering, you’ll experience Lawrence Tech’s signature theory and practice education through state-of-the-art engineering labs, internship and co-op opportunities with nearby world-class engineering firms, student chapters of professional engineering societies, Blue Devil Motorsports competitions, and more.

Baja SAEBaja SAE is an SAE-sponsored collegiate design competition in which teams design, build, test, and race a single-seat off-road vehicle.

Tyler Adams

Formula Electric TeamStudents develop a fully-electric-only, high-performance racing vehicle within the Formula SAE® competition.

Tim Drotar

Formula SAE TeamFormula SAE® is a series of both dynamic (driving) and static (non-driving) competitions focusing on student-built, high-performance, open-wheel, formula-style vehicles.

Choongbae Park

Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC) TeamIGVC is an annual robotics competition that challenges college teams to design and build autonomous ground vehicles.

Gaurav Singh

SAE Aero Design TeamThe SAE Aero Design competition gives students a real world design challenge that compress a typical aircraft development program into one calendar year. This competition requires participants to go through the systems engineering process by breaking down the entire design requirements of a flyable airplane into their specific needs and then to propose, design, fabricate, build and then test an airplane that meets those requirements.

Use Your Cell Phone as a Document Camera in Zoom

  • What you will need to have and do
  • Download the mobile Zoom app (either App Store or Google Play)
  • Have your phone plugged in
  • Set up video stand phone holder

From Computer

Log in and start your Zoom session with participants

From Phone

  • Start the Zoom session on your phone app (suggest setting your phone to “Do not disturb” since your phone screen will be seen in Zoom)
  • Type in the Meeting ID and Join
  • Do not use phone audio option to avoid feedback
  • Select “share content” and “screen” to share your cell phone’s screen in your Zoom session
  • Select “start broadcast” from Zoom app. The home screen of your cell phone is now being shared with your participants.

To use your cell phone as a makeshift document camera

  • Open (swipe to switch apps) and select the camera app on your phone
  • Start in photo mode and aim the camera at whatever materials you would like to share
  • This is where you will have to position what you want to share to get the best view – but you will see ‘how you are doing’ in the main Zoom session.
