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.
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.
