The electrical engineering program is rigorous, emphasizing both theory and practice. Hands-on experience is emphasized through projects and lab exercises, and culminates with a senior design project. Recent senior design topics have included robotics, biosensors, electric motor diagnosis, telecommunications and others. We have 3,700 square feet of lab space dedicated to the electrical and computer engineering programs. A 4+1 option is available to students who are interested to begin working towards a master degree in their senior or junior year. Recent research topics have been in the areas of biosensors and digital signal processing.

PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
LETU's autonomous robotics team designs and builds their own robot each year to enter into the IEEE Region 5 Robotics Competition.Each year, the robot is designed to complete a designated task 100% autonomously.
The team's robot took home first prize in the 2014 region 5 IEEE robotics competition, while competing against several prominent engineering schools.
The goal of the Electronic Access Computer Station team is to design an electronic control system to automate a computer station's vertical door system for hospital-hallway application sponsored by CCI group Inc.
This system will provide hands free access to the computers. The design should be cost efficient and practical for mass production.
