Overview

Since a typical Mechanical Engineering class from Lake Superior State University has about 15 students, you will have the chance to work closely with your instructors, all of whom are full-time faculty members, rather than graduate student assistants.

Recognizing that learning comes through doing as well as listening, all LSSU engineering programs are designed to include a significant amount of engineering practice along the way.
The emphasis in the curriculum is to provide a solid background in the core subject matter of the Mechanical Engineering discipline, including solid mechanics, thermal-fluids engineering, and controls, all of which find wide application across many industries and other fields of human endeavor.
The Robotics and Automation concentration, almost unique at the undergraduate level, prepares students for rewarding careers in the burgeoning fields of industrial automation, service robots, and mobile robotics.
The Vehicle Systems concentration focuses on the performance of surface vehicles of all sorts, whether on the road, terrain, rails, or even the sea, addressing such phenomena as handling, acceleration, ride, roll stability, pulling power, and noise and vibration.

All LSSU engineering students participate in a senior project.

Key facts

All engineering students are required to participate in a senior project sequence. Whether you choose to participate in a team on an industrial or research project, or as an individual at a cooperative work site, you will grow both professionally and personally as you work with professionals in the field.

During a typical senior project, you’ll develop your technical and communication skills, manage budgets, and work with practicing engineers. The senior project experience is designed to give you the tools you need to be prepared for “real life” and allow you to be successful in your career.
