Since those early beginnings students and alumni have gone on to design and engineer the tools, buildings and products that helped define their generations. And tomorrow's LTU students will do the same. Lawrence Tech is about "Theory and Practice," taking abstract ideas into the real world to solve tomorrow's problems. Its reputation comes as much from what we're doing now as it does from our storied past. If you're a thinker, a visionary, a builder … if you're curious … then you're Lawrence Tech.
