If you walked through Davis Lobby the week before finals, you probably spotted a few of Dr. Joon Wan Kim’s Digital Electronics students hard at work on their final projects!

This semester, students were challenged to design and build a fully functioning elevator prototype using a BASYS 3 FPGA board and any additional materials they could find or create. From logic circuits to troubleshooting hardware, each team put their engineering skills to the test.

But this project was about more than just circuits—it showcased teamwork, creativity, delegation, and serious time management skills. Many late nights (and even a few all-nighters) later, the results were incredible!

You can now check out and test the elevator prototypes in the Engineering Building. Huge congratulations to every team for finishing the semester strong!

At the end of the fall semester, Professor Aaron Brown visited two major ECE courses, Digital Electronics and Digital Signal Processing, to speak with students about the importance of technical writing.

While most engineering students learn essay writing before college, technical writing comes with its own unique standards and expectations. Strong technical communication skills are essential for engineers to clearly explain ideas, document procedures, and collaborate effectively in the professional world.

We’re thankful to Professor Brown for taking the time to share his knowledge and experience with our ECE students!

This Fall 2026, three students in Microcomputer Design turned that idea into reality. After months of hard work, with some students investing over 100 hours into the project, they successfully designed and built their own computers from the ground up.

To wrap up the semester, the students presented their final products to the Digital Electronics class, showcasing not only their technical knowledge, but also their dedication, problem-solving skills, and perseverance.

This is an incredible accomplishment, and we can’t wait to see what these future engineers achieve in their professional careers!

On April 22, students witnessed the conservation of angular momentum in action as a steel ball collided with a rotating platform. By capturing the collision in real time and graphing the resulting data, they were able to connect core physics principles with hands-on experimentation.
Experiences like this show how learning at LeTourneau goes beyond the classroom—giving students the opportunity to explore concepts through discovery, application, and real-world problem solving.

On April 30, LeTourneau University hosted the Student Showcase, featuring an impressive range of student projects, research, and presentations from across campus.
The event opened with senior design teams presenting their final projects, including a maskless lithography machine, rehabilitation device, competition robot, and more. Students then shared diverse research work spanning topics such as caffeine consumption, educational anxiety, and pelvic-tilt measurement systems. The showcase concluded with presentations from students in nursing, kinesiology, mathematics, engineering, and Riveted magazine, highlighting excellence across multiple disciplines.
The Student Showcase reflected the creativity, dedication, and growing impact of LeTourneau students—demonstrating strong preparation for future leadership in engineering, science, healthcare, and beyond.

On April 23, students in Introduction to Engineering Practices II (IEP II) showcased their final projects after a semester of innovation, teamwork, and hands-on learning.
Using Arduino systems with multiple subsystems, they brought creative ideas to life—from vending machines and arcade games to battling robots and more.
At LeTourneau University, our students don’t just study engineering—they build it. Opportunities to create, design, and innovate are part of everyday life here.
