RobotX Club And Senior Project

RobotX is a relatively new student club at Lake Superior State University that has been formed to compete in the Maritime RobotX and Roboboat Challenges. For more information on these competitions, please visit the official RobotX website. In Fall 2022, they competed in Sydney Australia, finishing 6th out of 19 teams from all across the world!

A brief description of the Senior Project team that designed, built, and tested the original system is given below. Since then, two more teams and the RobotX club have continued their work. A more thorough description of the current status of the project and club is available at the following team page:

Team SSS Hosted by Laker Hockey

About Team SSS

  • Team SSS (Superior Slapshot Systems) are designing, building and testing several systems to introduce people to hockey and enhance their understanding and enjoyment of the game and the engineering behind the systems. The systems will enhance the LSSU Laker Hockey game day experience and be a core exhibit at the Soo Locks Children’s Museum. Furthermore, a portable system will be used at college fairs and special events to showcase the university and LSSU Engineering.
  • Any support is much appreciated. To donate and show your support for our project, visit the LSSU donation page using the steps below. Contact the team today for other ways to support, such as donating necessary components, at SSS@LSSU.edu.

Student Organizations

Below you will find information about the student organizations and professional societies within the School of Engineering & Technology–there are many great ways to get involved!

A mechanical engineering professional organization that enable collaboration, knowledge sharing and skill development across all engineering disciplines.
We plan industrial/engineering related tours around the Soo and the state, attend a conference each year, compete in the NRC competition, and visit other universities for graduate school.

Faculty Advisor: Dr. Masoud Zarepoor

The Engineering Living & Learning Community is comprised of the residents of the “Engineering House” Chippewa Hall that are members of Engineering Society of Detroit (ESD). As ESD members, students have the opportunity to network with industrial companies at pre-career fair events, attend behind-the-scenes tours of the Detroit Auto Show and Mackinac Bridge, and enjoy many fun house activities. A 360 degree tour is available.

Faculty Advisors:

Joseph Moening, Ph.D.

Zakaria Mahmud, Ph.D.

IEEE is a computer and electrical engineering professional society and service organization. Members do not need to be CE/EE majors.
Members participate in FIRST mentorship, coffee and doughnuts sales, IEEExtreme programming competition, computer programming workshops, and fun projects.

SAE is a premiere membership society dedicated to advancing mobility engineering worldwide. The group modifies the mini-baja and competes in regional events, and attends SAE conferences.

Faculty Advisor: Dr. Zak Mahmud

This is a national organization geared to promoting women in the engineering and technology fields, but open to both women and men. We attend the national conference which meets in a different location throughout the U.S. each year, and to the regional conference. SWE likes to have a little fun and sponsors the Mr. Engineer competition, and holds an engineering day for Girl Scouts.
