There are many opportunities for undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff to get involved.
The annual Research Day and Presidential Colloquium promotes the scholarly engagement of faculty and students in order to support the highest quality educational experience for Lawrence Tech students and to celebrate and promote a culture of research at Lawrence Tech.
The BRINK project is designed to help research professionals from Michigan-based colleges and universities develop techniques to facilitate conversations and strategic change over the next year via in-person and virtual workshops, increasing research capacity across Michigan.
Do you like to compete? At Lawrence Tech, you can design, build, and test off-road vehicles, scale-model bridges, radio-controlled aircraft, and more, in competition with other students from around the world. Dare to compete, dare to learn, and, most importantly, dare to have fun.
Student competitions take on challenges that push students to apply classroom theories to real-world applications, gaining valuable experience and expanding their investigative spirit.

| AEI Student Design Competition | The AEI Student Design Competition was established specifically for the architectural engineering programs to highlight and showcase the value of collaboration, competition, and peer review, all of which are important in the development of designs in the professional world. | Faculty Advisor: Keith Kowalkowski |
| ASHRAE Student Design Competition | Students work to design energy-efficient HVAC systems and winners are recognized at the Annual ASHRAE Winter Meeting. | Faculty Advisor: Keith Kowalkowski |
| Baja SAE | Baja SAE is an SAE-sponsored collegiate design competition in which teams design, build, test, and race a single-seat off-road vehicle. | |
| Concrete Canoe | The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) hosts university teams from across the nation to construct a concrete canoe that floats, is navigable, and can compete in races in a lake. | |
| Concrete Toboggan | Students design and fabricate a five-person capacity metal frame cage toboggan with brakes, a steering mechanism and running ski surfaces entirely made of concrete. | |
| Formula Electric Team | Students develop a fully-electric-only, high-performance racing vehicle within the Formula SAEยฎ competition. | |
| Formula SAE Team | Formula SAEยฎ is a series of both dynamic (driving) and static (non-driving) competitions focusing on student-built, high-performance, open-wheel, formula-style vehicles. | |

| Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC) Team | IGVC is an annual robotics competition that challenges college teams to design and build autonomous ground vehicles. | |
| SAE Aero Design Team | The 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. |
Lawrence Tech’s research centers are collaborations between industry partners and our accomplished faculty, who are using their knowledge and research efforts to make strides in their disciplines.
Students tackle real-world design and engineering challenges by researching, designing, building, and testing their vehicles and aircraft, as well as raising funds and creating marketing presentations.
