Louisiana Tech University’s College of Engineering and Science held its annual Senior Projects Conference on Friday, May 7.
The Senior Projects Conference is the culmination of the College of Engineering and Science (COES) senior capstone experience – a yearlong series of hands-on and independent study courses in which students develop solutions to real-world problems and create innovative products.
The 2021 Senior Projects Conference was like no other, both in that it was the first to be held in the Integrated Engineering and Science Building (IESB) and in that seniors had to get creative in developing safe ways to collaborate with their teams and their project advisors early on.
When Electrical Engineering senior Diego Segura Ibarra joined Louisiana Tech University in the Winter of 2018, he planned to earn an electrical engineering degree that would prepare him for a career in his dream field of integrated circuits. What he found was a community as invested in his success as he was.
Segura Ibarra learned about Louisiana Tech’s internationally renowned project-based engineering curricula through Study Union, an agency that helps place Colombian students in programs that will help them learn a second language. The organization placed his older brother in an independent institution in Boston where he could complete an ELS (English as a Second Language) program. A few years later when he was ready to join his brother in the U.S., Study Union connected him to the ELS program at Louisiana Tech where he could join a world-famous Electrical Engineering program afterward and his brother could study architecture.
