your freshman year.
- The program provides an excellent
mix of theory and practical
laboratory experiences.
Mechanical Engineering
Mechanical engineering is a broadbased
program that prepares you
for a rewarding career in mechanical
and related engineering fields.
Course work for this EAC of ABET accredited
program includes 71
hours in technical specialties, 34
hours in math and sciences and 25
hours in general education for a
total of 130 hours in the bachelor of
science degree. You will work with
mechanical systems in the laboratories
and receive an excellent mix of
theory and application.
Program Highlights:
- Emphasis is on preparing you
to solve real-world engineering
problems.
- You will participate in multidisciplinary,
industrial or research based
senior engineering design
projects which emphasize
teamwork, communications,
project management, customer
relations and ethics.
- You will learn numerous software
packages for CAD, CAM,
finite element analysis, programmable
logic controllers,
robots and technical analysis.
- Cooperative education opportunities
are available.
General Engineering
You should enroll in this program
if you want to major in engineering
but have not yet selected a specific
field. You also should enroll in this
program if you plan to transfer to
an engineering program at another
university after two years at Lake
Superior State University.
Manufacturing Engineering Technology
Manufacturing engineering technology (MfgET) is a multi-disciplinary field that integrates knowledge from areas of study such as science, math, computers, mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, management and economics. MfgET is a profession that gives you the expertise to develop tools, processes, machines and equipment to make quality products at a reasonable cost. The profession also involves working with and coordination of people from several other fi elds. In addition to providing a strong background in the fundamentals of manufacturing engineering technology, the program places an emphasis in the application of computer systems to modern manufacturing. This includes topics such as robotics, computer-aided design (CAD), programmable logic controllers (PLC), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM). The classes and labs in the curriculum average about 15 students and are taught by faculty who are dedicated to undergraduate teaching excellence. Students pursuing the B.S. degree in manufacturing at LSSU have the option to specialize in robotics and automation. LSSU is one of only three universities in the U.S. to offer the robotics specialization in the TAC of ABET-accredited manufacturing engineering technology B.S. degree. LSSU is home to one of the best robotics educational facilities in North America. Graduates with this emphasis have had nearly 100 percent job placement with high and competitive starting salaries. Your emphasis of study in this option will be identified on your transcripts. A scientific “high technology” basis in the field of manufacturing engineering technology is evolving. The MfgET program is designed to place LSSU graduates at the leading edge of this evolution.
general Engineering technology
You should select this program if you are interested in engineering technology but have not decided upon a specific program. You will receive extra advising and schedule courses in different areas to assist in determining career interests. As soon as you choose an engineering technology major, you will transfer to that program.
industrial technology
Your academic experience will include a foundation in the basic sciences, mathematical concepts through algebra and trigonometry, general education, software, technology and automation. You will learn to apply your skills toward the solution of practical, industrial-type technical problems. During your senior year, you will participate in the construction-and-build semester of a real-world industrial project, working with engineers and company representatives. You will also have developed communication skills that will enable you to grow and succeed in your professional career. Not a first-time-in-college student? There are multiple technical and free electives to allow transfer students to fit into the flow of the program. As a graduate, you will have the ability to seek employment in the technical areas of business, industry, and manufacturing.
engineering management
The Engineering Management program is designed for students who already have a technical associate’s degree to complete a managementoriented bachelor’s degree in two additional years. The program will expand your technical education in robotics and automation. It will also provide you with valuable business skills that could qualify you for advancement in industry. Technical associate’s degree transfer credits are accepted for a wide range of technical programs. Technical courses provide a focus in modern robotics and automated manufacturing methods.
