Welcome to the Lake Superior State University School of Engineering and Technology Web site. Please take some time to review our programs in the high-demand fields of engineering and technology.
LSSU is a small, dynamic, and personal university with a focus on teaching. We have about 200 engineering and technology students and you will have ample opportunity to learn from faculty and staff dedicated to teaching both the theoretical and applied aspects of engineering.
As you review our programs and learn more about LSSU, you will see examples of our quality learning environment, unique facilities, and dedicated faculty. Although our engineering and technology programs are demanding, I feel the rewards are well worth the time and effort. Our graduates enjoy a nearly 100% placement rate, and have found jobs from Texas to Michigan, and from New York, to Oregon in a wide variety of engineering disciplines. Average starting salaries are about $50,000 per year. Other graduates have continued on to graduate school and obtained their Master's or Ph.D. Click here to read testimonies from our graduates.
We have some new programs and new initiatives at LSSU and I'll try to provide just a bit of information about these to you.
At LSSU, we offer degrees in:
The Electrical Enginereing Technology program just started this fall. The program provides practical skills in electronics, computers, embedded systems, robotics and automation. Students can even pursue the robotics technology minor as they complete the degree. More information is available on our programs page.
Our Prototype Development Center (PDC) is also enjoying an active year. It provides product development and testing services to entrepreneurs and businesses throughout the region. During the last year, the PDC partnered with the city of Sault Ste. Marie to successfully write a proposal to the state to become a SmartZone. This $8 million venture is just beginning and faculty, staff, and students are already becoming involved in the activities. You'll hear more about this as the year progresses.
While you’re looking at our web site, be sure to check out the robotics lab where you’ll find eighteen industrial robots. We're in the process of adding four new robotics systems into the laboratory. The robotics option/minor is available in all of our engineering and engineering technology degrees. You can also check out what’s happening with different student projects or see some recent awards won by our students.
Once again, welcome. If there is anything else that we can help you with please don’t hesitate to ask.
