Lawrence Technological University Founded in 1932 by Russell E. Lawrence, Lawrence Technological University or LTU, began in Highland Park, Michigan, but moved to its current located in Southfield in 1955. The private school is located on more than 100 acres near Detroit. LTC is the first completely wireless college campus in Michigan. It provides all students with a tablet or laptop, as well as software. The campus boasts many facilities to support student learning, especially the Center for Innovating Materials Research. Inside the center, students can use a variety of labs for robotics, graphics, biomedical research, and alternative energy. There is also a wind tunnel, a structural testing center, and design and architectural studios. …show more content…
There are more than 82 degree programs (bachelor’s, master’s, and doctoral) to choose from with architecture, mechanical engineering, and engineering technology the most popular. Most doctorate programs are in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, or STEM, fields. Students can choose to take part in the school’s Leadership Program. The program’s purpose is to nurture a student’s sense of entrepreneurialism and global perspective. Students who participate earn a leadership portfolio and their degree. Notable graduates include Steve Ballmer, former Microsoft CEO; Donald W. Date, lead architect for the Panama Canal Compan; John DeLorean, founder of DeLorean Motors and creator of the world’s first muscle car; Ronald Knockeart, creator of keyless entries on cars and the laser bar code scanner. The school has an excellent reputation for preparing students for the workforce. About 80 percent of LTU grades are employed graduation, which is almost twice the U.S. average. A bachelor’s degree rank LTU is on top 100 list of all schools in the country, based on earning …show more content…
Physical security is highlighted by key-card access to dorms and lighted pathways/sidewalks. There is no requirement for freshman to live on campus. There are five fraternities and four sororities on campus. Lawrence Technical competes in National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC), and in the Michigan Collegiate Hockey Conference (MCHC) and fields teams in several sports. Student athletes compete in cross country, bowling, basketball, lacrosse, soccer, and volleyball. The Blue Devil is the school’s mascot. There is a free, on-campus event ever Thursday for students and many academic clubs to join. One of the school’s homecoming traditions is hosting a free concert. Being near Detroit, there are many opportunities for music, food, and entertainment. There are five destination districts – Downtown Detroit, Dearborn/Wayne, Greater Novi, Macomb, and Oakland – each with a distinct personality. Shopping, professional sports, Motown, and beaches are some of the

From its geographic location, socio-economic background, and cultural expressions, this little neighborhood expresses the “mellow” aspect of surf, shopping, and living in the shadow of American culture. The Christmas parades and other various events held annually, along with the many shops that describe commercial success perfectly encircles both history of Belmont Shore and very well represents what it takes to be an outstanding American
Today’s college students have the opportunity and freedom to choose their major and their career path. Many factors influence the decision of a college student’s career paths including background, general interests, personal strengths, time commitment, and job outlook. Although many important decisions are made in college, one of the most important is the choice of major and career track. Out of hundreds of majors the science and engineering fields are under-represented by women. Although the numbers of women in science technology, engineering, and mathematics, STEM, majors has been increasing in the past years, women still are in the minority in the STEM fields. In her study, Lona Whitmarsh concluded, “that career opportunities for women have widened,” but “not enough change has occurred to show significant differences between the overall population” (49). It is good that more women are entering these fields, but there are still not enough young women aspiring to fill the gaps. Further statistics show that female representation in engineering continues to be low, “in 2008 only 19 percent of bachelor’s degrees, 22.9 percent of masters, and 14.8 percent of PhDs in engineering were awarded to women” (Bystydzienski 2). Although there has been a general increase of women entering the fields of science and mathematics, overall the numbers are still low, showing that women struggle in pursuing a degree within these fields, and that many factors can lead to a female not choosing to begin or complete college in a STEM major. Women are in the minority of STEM fields.

JPL stands for Jet propulsion laboratory. Which was named after the great scientist who has dedicated his work to the physics and concepts in physics. His name was Theodore Von Karman. This lab explains about the numerous science missions and the importance about how they use the physics which will enable students to know about NASA and their important project which are useful for the students of science and technology. They are taking the observation and experimentation of physics to a new level and how this will be helpful in knowing the concepts which are underneath the physics.
1. Introduction Queensland University of Technology (QUT) was founded in 1849 under the name “Brisbane School of Arts” (Kyle, 1999). Over 166 years , QUT now is a government-owned tertiary education institution in Brisbane, Queensland with main office at Gardens Point and two other campuses involving Kelvin Grove and Caboolture (IBISWorld, 2014).
Well, I could create video games or I could be a video game tester. Each one is related to STEM, the technology aspect of it. Being a video game designer would also fall in the aspect of engineering as well. Engineering because I am creating something. If I go in the video game tester than that would only fall under technology because I would be testing a form of technology and would see if it is good to sell or not
