News
UT Establishes the Fariborz Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering
The University of Texas at Austin will reimagine its approach to training civil, architectural and environmental engineering students as society’s designers, with a renewed emphasis on leadership and service needed to solve global challenges. A transformational investment from a UT alumnus will galvanize this approach, which he calls “engineering the big.”
Civil, Environmental Engineering Again Ranked Among Top Undergraduate Engineering Programs
The Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has once again been named one of the nation’s top engineering schools.
Why Black Neighborhoods Have More Vehicle-Pedestrian Crashes
There's a growing body of research showing that members of marginalized populations are more likely to be involved in severe or fatal crashes as pedestrians, and that disparity is on the rise.
Seismic Design Team competes in San Francisco
Students from the University of Texas CAEE Seismic Design Team traveled to San Francisco, California in April to participate in the 2023 Undergraduate Seismic Design Competition. In this competition, which is hosted by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, student teams are required to submit RFPs in response to a prompt modeled around a real-world scenario. This year’s problem statement required students to design skybridges connecting two new building structures.
