In order to maintain the quality of our engineering & engineering technology programs, the School of Engineering & Technology implements continuous improvement mechanisms including feedback from its industrial advisory board, students, alumni, and others. For transparency purposes, the School also reports key information about its programs. This page specifically includes information about program accreditation including mission, goals, program educational objectives and student outcomes. It also includes the pass rates for the Fundamentals of Engineering national exam.
The mission of LSSU’s School of Engineering & Technology is to produce broadly sought-after engineers and engineering technologists with multi-disciplinary competence by providing an academically thorough education that is both foundational and applied, led by faculty and staff dedicated to undergraduate learning.
LSSU’s School of Engineering & Technology will continue to be an attractive option for first-time and transfer students seeking a high-quality, technologically-relevant engineering or engineering technology education in the Great Lakes region while striving to increase our visibility regionally, nationally, and globally. The School will also maintain its student focus, its emphasis on both practical and foundational learning, and its traditional engineering and engineering technology programs. Furthermore, it will expand and enhance multi-disciplinary programs such as robotics.
