What is Living With The Lab
Living With The Lab
about us
our facilities
Students are provided with a robotics kit along with tools, software and supplies to provide a platform for laboratory and design projects. Student ownership of the lab expands the scope and complexity of projects that can be undertaken with large groups and fosters the development of knowledge, skills and confidence that lead to innovation.
our goals
In the first year of an engineering program, the primary goals are to build a strong foundation in core engineering principles such as mathematics, physics, and basic sciences. Students are expected to develop technical skills using fundamental engineering tools and software, and enhance their problem-solving abilities through practical projects and laboratory work.
our purpose
Louisiana Tech’s first-year engineering program provides an immersive, project-focused experience for over 700 students each year. Our six semester hour course sequence, called “Living with the Lab”, boosts experiential learning through student ownership of the “lab.”
