Hands-on Engineering Education Close to Home
Engineers build our world, from conceiving and planning buildings and infrastructure
to developing new materials, devices and systems that power modern industries. As
industries evolve in response to marketplace demands and growing interest in sustainability
and alternative energy, innovative, driven professionals are needed in the East Texas
region to fuel these developments and tackle new challenges.
To support the local economy, The University of Texas at Tyler trains the next generation
of professionals and helps existing engineers advance their skills at the Houston
Engineering Center. Start at another college before transferring to earn a Bachelor
of Science in engineering from UT Tyler within four years while substantially saving
on tuition costs. As you look ahead in your career, specialize your knowledge base
and embrace your leadership potential with a master’s degree earned closer to home
or your workplace.
