Vibrant Community
While UT Austin is a large place, COE is a close-knit community sharing a home base in the ASE building. There are over 30 full-time faculty and under 100 undergraduate students. Students participate in a variety of student projects and organizations as well as undergraduate research. Free tutoring with Engineering tutors is available.
Since our program is still relatively new, career placement information is changing each year. Of the students already graduated, placement has included aerospace, medical, financial and other industries.
