LA Tech

Living with the Lab was initiated at Louisiana Tech University in 2002 with a pilot group of 23 freshman students through seed funding from the Center for Entreprenurship and Information Technology (CEnIT). The program evolved into the Honors Engineering Program beginning in 2004 and was expanded to all engineering students (434 students at the time) in 2008 though an NSF CCLI Phase 2 grant (0618288). We have used platforms based on Boe-Bots, NI-DAQ cards, and now the Arduino along with a software suite that includes SolidWorks, Excel, and Mathcad. A total of 755 students were enrolled in our three ENGR 120, 121 and 122 courses in the fall of 2015.
