“I chose LSSU expecting a very good engineering education. What I didn’t expect was faculty with real-world engineering experience and abilities, labs with real-world equipment, projects with real-world outcomes, and an entire campus staff with real interest in my success, as a student and yet today. My LSSU engineering education has created or supported every desired career opportunity. LSSU was absolutely the right place for me.”

Employers of LSSU engineering and technology graduates, JR Automation and Applied Manufacturing Technologies, were mentioned in the article. Click here to read the story.
Thanks to Prof. Jim Devaprasad, our graduates continue to remain in the robotics limelight. He was invited to give a presentation on Robotics Simulation byGlobalspec, entitled, "Speculate or Simulate: Robotics Simulation Revisited". The interview was videotaped last fall in Albany, NY, and telecast online in January. Globalspec is an organization that has about 6 million registered users who are industry professionals seeking the latest information and technologies for professional development.

Design Competition
Senior project Team Rock Rover Design & Development qualified to advance to the international student design competition on November 18, 2009.
ASME Student Design Expositions provide a platform for all engineering students to showcase their innovative design and build projects to a broad audience. Bringing practicing engineers, faculty and students into one venue, this program also provides educational and professional development opportunities for exhibitors as well as spectators. For students, it is an opportunity to demonstrate their products or present their design concepts to potential employers and even investors. For industry leaders, the Expos are like career fairs in reverse; an opportunity to observe the landscape of student design, get to know extraordinary engineering students in the region and see first-hand the innovative ideas and skills students can bring to their companies.
