Lawrence Technological University (LTU) is enabling students to complete a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering with a concentration in power engineering, and well positioned to be employed by the U.S. nuclear power industry. Students complete an associate's program at Monroe County Community College (MCCC) in Nuclear Engineering Technology and then transfer to LTU to complete the BS degree. Two pre-engineering scholarships are awarded to students at MCCC each year of the five-year award, and eighteen to LTU students in the electrical or computer engineering programs.The project is preparing highly-adaptable energy technicians skilled in the generation, transmission, and distribution of power, while simultaneously laying the foundation for continuing education and training necessary to upgrade workforce personnel skills. To ensure student success, LTU is offering a comprehensive package of student outreach and support, career exploration, and job placement services. Scholarship recipients are learning about power engineering through interdisciplinary courses, guest lecturers, and field trips, as well as participation in a local chapter of professional organizations. LTU is leveraging its network of local and regional industry partnerships, including DTE Energy Corporation, to aid in the recruitment, retention, and job placement of the S-STEM scholars.The project is meeting national needs for a highly-skilled, diversified workforce in the generation, transmission, and distribution of power, and for highly-qualified candidates for graduate studies. The project is strengthening the partnership between the two-year and four-year institutions of higher education, along with local engineering and technology employers. As southeast Michigan is changing its economic base, the project will benefit a region with substantial challenges.

劳伦斯理工大学（LTU）使学生能够完成电气工程理学学士学位，专注于电力工程，并有能力被美国核电行业雇用。 学生在门罗县社区学院（MCCC）完成核工程技术的副学士课程，然后转入LTU完成学士学位。 在五年制的奖学金中，每年有两个工程预科奖学金颁发给MCCC的学生，18个奖学金颁发给LTU的电气或计算机工程专业的学生。该项目旨在培养适应性强的能源技术人员，掌握发电、输电和配电技术，同时为继续教育和培训奠定基础，以提升劳动力人员的技能。 为了确保学生的成功，LTU提供了一个全面的一揽子学生推广和支持，职业探索和就业安置服务。 奖学金获得者通过跨学科课程，客座讲师和实地考察以及参与专业组织的当地分会学习电力工程。 LTU正在利用其本地和区域行业合作伙伴网络，包括DTE能源公司，帮助S-STEM学者的招聘，保留和就业安置。该项目正在满足国家对发电，输电和配电领域高技能，多元化劳动力的需求，以及高素质的研究生候选人。 该项目正在加强两年制和四年制高等教育机构沿着当地工程和技术雇主之间的伙伴关系。 由于密歇根州东南部正在改变其经济基础，该项目将有利于一个面临重大挑战的地区。
