A current engineering graduate is able to compete in the business world only with a commitment to a life-long process. A graduate of a decade ago who has not much awareness of the changes in engineering and technology compete with a recent graduate. The reality of the situation that today's graduates have only a short span of progress time before they are obsolete. Therefore, a successful person must make a commitment to life-long learning to make a competitive edge.
There are many ways and many opportunities to keep up with the changing technology. Refresher courses, seminars, meetings, technical journal and magazines, and many other information are some of the ways of engineers routine and an awareness of the current technology. A graduate degree helps maintain this awareness, it gives the student a formalized exposure to advanced theory and practice in engineering. It gives the student an opportunity to be established mentors, gaining a level of proficiency.
Many years ago a bachelor's degree in engineering would be considered adequate training to successfully practice engineering. Only a small percentage of engineers obtain a master's degree, and fewer obtained a Ph.D. Today the situation has changed, motivated by the ever-changing technological landscape. The number of students with advanced degrees has grown dramatically over the years. We know that a master's degree is considered by many engineers which is minimum required for a practicing professional engineers as a result, employer are encouraging their employees for advanced degrees.
Lawrence Tech's Mechanical Engineering Department offers a choice of four different Master's degrees and a Doctorate of Engineering in Manufacturing System
The goal of these advanced degree programs is to provide the students with an in-depth understanding of the processing systems, and challenges that they will face while practicing providing leadership in a technical organization. All of the degree programs were developed with continuous in-depth of the industry advisory boards. We have also designed the programs for the convenience of working engineers. The courses taught in the evenings, minimize the interference of our student's employment commitments.
