As I applied to LETU, I had no senior who could share their experiences with me, and I didn't do much research either (which I should have!) Based on the experience I have in some robotic competitions, I chose the major as “Mechatronics, Robotics and Automation Engineering”. At that time, I ignored the “prefix”: Engineering Technology.
When I came to school and communicated with my professors, he said that according to my math grades, I should change to a formal engineering major. I was confused, and he showed me a picture like below.
As you can imagine, I switched my major to Mechatronic Engineering.
(The picture was drawn by me and was based on the article “STEM; Engineering Degree vs. Technology Degree” by Walter Ingram, published in 2017.)
During my academic journey, I naturally developed an interest in Computer Science. In our high school in China, I’ve met a brother from Africa who is now studying Cybersecurity in Canada, and that is the first time I got to know about this major. This, adhering to the principle of “not letting myself be idle”, after communicating with my professor, I chose Cybersecurity as my second major.
My advisor of cybersecurity, Dr. Gowing, is an expert in this field. However, you can't detect the slightest trace of arrogance in him at all. When I went to him to complete the task of “developing a 4-year degree plan” on our “Student Passport”, he was willing to help. He is also my computer science professor, so whenever I have free time, I will go to his office to ask questions about the courses.

Considering a Christian University, the first thing that comes to mind will always be “Theology! They must have many theology students!” Well, this is true to some degree, most of the people in Davis Hall (If you don’t know what it is, refer to the “Event” page!) will be more concentrated on theology. However, most of them are not theology majors. My roommate is a student at Honors College and has just changed his dorm from Davis, and he is a very good mechanical engineer.
But you can still see many “Christian elements” around the campus. Apart from those sculptures based on biblical scriptures, every professor will have a “devotional” before the class starts. As I know, this is not a requirement, but a tradition that has continued to this day.
