About Us

The University of Texas at Arlington’s College of Engineering provides one of the most comprehensive engineering programs in North Texas and the nation, with eight baccalaureate programs, 14 master’s and 10 doctorates. It is the third largest engineering college in Texas, with about 3,500 students.

Approximately 150 full time and 20 part time faculty members provide our students with a wide selection of comprehensive and challenging instructional programs. Our faculty members are leaders in their fields; twenty-three are Fellows of professional societies. They are also innovators; several hold multiple patents and many are called upon to conduct workshops and make presentations at technical gatherings around the world.

Well-equipped research and instructional laboratories, from electro-optics to neural networks, from hypersonic wind tunnels to our Nanotechnology Research & Teaching Facility, allow our faculty and students to investigate and develop processes and applications leading to the next technological revolutions.

Our alumni have achieved high stature within their chosen career fields. They have started companies, developed popular computer games, gained leadership positions in major industries and patented innovative processes and applications. Two of our graduates have become Space Shuttle astronauts. One of our graduates led the team of programmers that developed tasking maneuvers for the Mars rovers. Another started an airline that now provides more than 800 flights a day with 84 jet aircraft.

UT Arlington’s Fort Worth Riverbend campus is home to the Automation & Robotics Research Institute, the premier technology transfer center in the Southwest, where academia and industry merge to develop innovative and efficient manufacturing processes.

Arlington is situated midway between Dallas and Fort Worth in north central Texas. More than 5,500,000 people live in this metropolitan area.
