Do you love math and science? Do the possibilities of electricity fascinate you? Do you want to be a leader in the field of engineering?

» Program Overview

If so, LTU’s Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering might be the program for you. The program offers three optional areas of technical concentration: computer engineering, electronics engineering, and power engineering.

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.

Why LTU

  • Lawrence Tech’s electrical engineering program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology and includes a core of electrical engineering courses and a wide range of technical electives
  • The University’s role as a leading research center with state-of-the-art facilities gives you access to applied research projects, cutting-edge concepts, and the latest technologies

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
