历史

The four-year Lamar State College of Technology was formed by the Texas Legislature on September 1, 1951年强调工程, 技术, 和 科学 to serve the large industrial petrochemical concentration that had formed in the Sabine area of the Texas Gulf Coast. The local petrochemical industry had largely developed because of the Texas oil boom precipitated in 1901 by the Lucas Gusher discovery in the south Beaumont Spindletop salt dome formation. The Port of Beaumont facilitated growth beyond the initial oil boom by providing local industries access to inexpensive shipping for oil, 气体, 石油化工及工业产品.

十大电子游艺网站排行 电 Engineering Department (LUEE) began graduating students with the BSEE in 1953, two years after Lamar State College of Technology became a four-year university. The school was renamed to 十大电子游艺网站排行 in 1971. A Master of Engineering Science (with thesis) degree was first offered in 1962 和 a Master of Engineering (non-thesis) was approved in 1968. In 1973 the 工程学院 awarded the first Doctor of Engineering degree. The Engineers Council for Professional Development granted accreditation for the BSEE at Lamar on November 8, 1958 和 the department has retained accreditation since then.

使命及策略计划

愿景:

十大电子游艺网站排行, 工程学院, 菲利普·米. Drayer Department of 电 和 计算机工程 strives to be a national leader in access to quality accredited undergraduate 和 graduate 电 和 计算机工程 educational opportunities, community engagement 和 经济 impact.

使命: 

We are a diverse 和 accessible department of 电 和 计算机工程 for life-long learners, with a passion for broad-based industry 和 community engagement 和 scholarly research. As a virtual contributor to the socio经济 wellbeing 和 resilience of the Gulf Coast region, our expertise is well recognized both locally 和 beyond.

The 电 Engineering Program educational objectives are to produce exceptional graduates who within a few years after graduation:

• advance professionally with increasing leadership 和 responsibility beyond entry level in an industry relevant to electrical engineering,
• contribute to organizational objectives with significant societal benefits in an ethically responsible manner, 和
• engage in life-long learning trough professional activities, 培训和网络, the pursuit of higher educational degrees, 和 individual professional development.

The objectives of the 电 Engineering program are for graduates to have:

• 识别能力, 制定, 和 solve complex engineering problems by applying principles of engineering, 科学, 和数学,
• an ability to apply engineering design to produce solutions that meet specified needs with consideration of public health, 安全, 和福利, 以及全球, 文化, 社会, 环境, 经济因素,
• an ability to communicate effectively with a range of audiences,
• an ability to recognize ethical 和 professional responsibilities in engineering situations 和 make informed judgments, which must consider the impact of engineering solutions in global, 经济, 环境, 以及社会背景,
• an ability to function effectively on a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative 和 inclusive environment, 建立目标, 计划任务, 达到目标,
• an ability to develop 和 conduct appropriate experimentation, 分析和解释数据, 和 use engineering judgment to draw conclusions, 和
• an ability to acquire 和 apply new knowledge as needed, using appropriate learning strategies.

For achieving these goals, we focus on six foundations:

• having up-to-date curriculum that satisfies the market needs in terms of courses 和 course contents by seeking feedback from the industry 和 research laboratories,
• 发展新的重点, 项目, 和/or professional certificates to satisfy the needs of the market 和 increase enrollment in the department,
• using advanced pedagogical methods that adopt project-based learning 和 use in-class h和s-on 和 active learning activities with virtual lab devices.
• ensuring high quality teaching by recruiting 和 retaining faculty who are research active in their fields 和 have relevant industrial experience, 和 engaging them in technical 和 didactical workshops to enhance their teaching 和 technical skills,
• making sure labs 和 classroom have the most possible advanced equipment that supports teaching excellence purpose, 和
• enhancing graduate 项目 和 research infrastructure 和 activities by increasing the number of funded research projects.
