ECE Senior Design Sponsor Home Page

To Friends of LeTourneau University:

The Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) program at LeTourneau University is seeking partners in the industry for senior design projects. Allow us to introduce you to our, students’ capabilities, and the specifics of being an industry sponsor.
LeTourneau University is world-renowned for its engineering program. The students who come here receive a technical background with a depth and breadth that enables them to become extremely successful in the industry. Every student participates for at least one year (2 semesters) in a rigorous team-based senior design project. The projects are supported by the faculty and staff at LeTourneau University, and many of the most successful have an industry advisor as their client. It is LeTourneau’s goal to see more projects directly associated with the industry.

LeTourneau’s engineering seniors have technical knowledge, the desire and ability to learn, and a strong work ethic – all significant benefits to the industry. All engineering majors experience design projects in Engineering Design Methodology, Digital Electronics, Mechatronics, and other classes before their senior year. Specifically, for ECE concentrations, students take numerous classes in both analog and digital applications.

Some of the most successful past Electrical Computer Engineering (ECE) senior design projects include 1) the Diversity Digital Radio Mondiale (DDRM) Receiver project working closely with Rockwell Collins Inc., 2) the WIRES project with STEMCO Inc., 3) the AMP project with General Dynamics, 4) the LEMA project with Flanders Inc., 5) the EACS project with CCI Group and 6) the WAEVS project with TRIPAGA Inc. This small sampling shows that the ECE program at LeTourneau has experience with global, national, and local industries.

Please take a moment and read the invitation from Dr. Joonwan Kim Professor and Chair, Electrical Engineering.
