Electrical engineers use the controlled application of electricity to solve problems in areas ranging from tiny consumer electronic devices, medical equipment, and computers to automobiles and the massive power-generating apparatus used by utility companies.
The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering at Lawrence Tech offers three optional areas of technical concentration: Computer Engineering, Electronics Engineering, and Power Engineering.
Upon receiving my degree, I was immediately ready to enter the work force. During the interview process, I was able to talk about the team projects and practical experiences I received at Lawrence Tech.

Participation in the senior-year capstone course also allows you to gain real-world, hands-on experience. Recently, seniors have designed 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.
The electrical engineering program is accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology. It includes a core of electrical engineering courses and a wide range of technical electives. The senior capstone project spans two semesters and includes the design, construction, and testing of an electrical engineering project.

**The Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering offers three optional areas of technical concentration:
1. Computer Engineering
2. Electronics Engineering
3. Power Engineering
An intention to complete one of these concentrations should be officially declared upon reaching junior status; the required application form can be obtained from the LTU's One-Stop Center. Please consult your assigned academic advisor for further information.
**A list of electrical and computer engineering technical electives is available from the Department of Electrical ad Computer Engineering, room E217.
Dual majors will be permitted a number of substitutions as approved by the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering consistent with accreditation requirements.
Internships + Co-Ops
True to Lawrence Tech’s unique blend of theory and practice, Electrical Engineering students are encouraged to take part in internships or cooperative education (co-op). This opportunity provides hands-on, practical engineering experience that is a distinct advantage when approaching future employers.
Check out some of our peep’s had to say about their experiences with Internships and Co-Ops.
The Electrical Engineering program is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of ABET
