"I chose to transfer to Lake Superior State University because of the personal attention I would receive. I did not want to attend a large university where I would be a number lost in the masses. The well-rounded curriculum allowed me to obtain my position at John Deere. Having a good balance of theory and hands-on knowledge is critical for my position and Lake State gave me a good foundation in these skills."

"I’m fortunate to have the opportunity to teach electrical engineering in the classroom and also do consulting in the area of support for the development of hybrid and electric vehicles. It is great to see the engineering principles and techniques from the classroom chalk board in use in the real world, and to bring examples from industry back to my classes.

I really value the culture in the engineering area at Lake State, and feel that is best described by thought a student once expressed in a class journal: 'Class was more like a huge family than a regular class.' "
