A Quantum Leap
UTA researchers are helping usher in a second quantum revolution.
Best of Both Worlds
A new partnership between the College of Engineering and Cook Children's has paired research with clinical experience—with outstanding results.
The College of Engineering's relationship with Cook Children's HealthCare System began years ago, with a clinical immersion program that exposes upper-level undergraduates to the inner workings of a hospital during their senior design course. . . .
Learning By Doing
Engineering Program on the Rise
A new state-of-the-art lab is hosting the first cohort of UTA students focused on the future of biomanufacturing.
In one of the many opportunities afforded to students in the lab, they assembled a bioreactor, a tool used to grow living cells for producing medicines. The hands-on experience mirrors the environments they will encounter in the fast-growing biotech industry. . . .

Looking Back on the Decade
How has it been 10 years already? As I reflect on my time as dean of the College of Engineering, I remember countless accomplishments in our classrooms, our labs, and the community, and I am optimistic about our future.
Our research portfolio has doubled, but just as importantly, our research has impact and makes our world better in very real ways. . . . Looking Back on the Decade
