Everyone knows that engineers solve the problems that our ever changing world faces.  We know our 工程 students want to be solution providers.

通过慷慨的资助 敏锐的,我们的想法已经变成了现实.

 The 工程学院 recognizes that the problems engineers face are becoming more and more complex.  High performing, interdisciplinary teams are needed to solve these challenges.   在劳伦斯理工学院, 的想法 facilitates collaboration amongst students from various 工程 disciplines. 

为工程师解决这些问题, they must first recognize the opportunities in the world around them and find the right problem to solve.  With 的想法, students interact with and create extraordinary value for real world customers.   思想培养   habit of thought that empowers students to be curious about the world around them and recognize opportunities to connect the technical skills learned in the classroom to the needs of their customer. 学生成为创造价值的先锋.

学术荣誉守则

The SEED facilitates the following innovative curricular and extracurricular activities: 

eWeek设计挑战

创新遇到

二年级的世博会


The primary activity that takes place in the EEDS is the 工程学院’s Entrepreneurial Engineering Design Studio course. (EGE2123)

在这个独特的二年级关卡设计工作室, students engage in a hands on experience that builds on the foundation of the entrepreneurial mindset introduced in our first-year course, EGE1001 Fundamentals of Engineering Design Projects.

在一个学期里, our sophomore 工程 students use curiosity to identify opportunities for a design within a given theme. They connect with real customers outside of the classroom. 到学期末, these students have built a working prototype that creates value for these customers. This experience is made more meaningful by partnering with non-profit agencies.

The partners that EEDS utilizes are Services to Enhance Potential (STEP) and connectu. STEP works with and employs persons with disabilities. 作为员工, these persons undergo training and development activities which allows for personal and professional growth. 我们的另一个合作伙伴, connectu, supplies quality programming for individuals with server multiple disabilities. 他们的节目提供了刺激, educational and social activities for members, 实习生和志愿者.

Our sophomore students in the EEDS are tasked with identifying an opportunity and implementing a design that will help these clients in their endeavors. Unique aspects of the course include direct interaction with real customers and determining how to create the most value based on the tasks that these clients perform. 另外, 学生调查市场, review prior solutions and intellectual property, and perform an economic analysis related to the development and potential marketing of their invention.
