Lawrence Tech received a grant to grow its department of engineering.
The Kern Family Foundation of Waukesha, Wis.
has awarded a five-year, $1,154,500 grant to Lawrence Technological
University to further integrate entrepreneurial education into the
curriculum of the university's College of Engineering.
All undergraduate engineering students at Lawrence Tech will receive
a comprehensive entrepreneurship education when the curriculum changes
are completed.
"The goal is to produce well-rounded engineers who possess solid
technical knowledge as well as an understanding of entrepreneurial
opportunities and how to pursue them," said Timothy Kriewall, program
director of engineering entrepreneurship at the Kern Family Foundation.
"Lawrence Tech has come up with an exciting plan for offering both
sides to all undergraduate engineering students."
