How do I create a career with LAES?
The LAES program provides students with a great deal of freedom in creating their area of specialization. All LAES students build their study programs based on one-on-one consultation with the Program Directors.
LAES career paths involve elements from engineering technology and the humanities. The successful graduate will understand technology and its limitations, benefits and implications relative to other fields. Graduates receive a solid foundation in engineering and scientific principles as well as a cultural appreciation that supports them in careers requiring significant levels of technical and cultural fluency.

As modern culture becomes truly global and our use of complex technology becomes an integral part of everything we do, a solid understanding of engineering and the humanities will be essential in solving nearly any problem.
