The TxEEE Energy Technology & Policy (ETP) course led by Michael Webber and the Webber Energy Group in May 2024 once again delivered.

May 2024 was a banner graduation season for Texas Engineering Executive Education (TxEEE), the Cockrell School of Engineering and The University of Texas at Austin.

There are many ways to advance one’s career. For engineers, going back to school to pursue an advanced degree while working full time is an ambitious way to expand knowledge and professional opportunities. Partners and spouses offer a great support system for such commitments, but what happens when both decide to go for it?

In early March, Texas Engineering Executive Education (TxEEE) master’s students took advantage of a networking opportunity with Torc Robotics, an autonomous vehicle company focused on long-haul trucking. Torc is actively recruiting engineers and spent time talking with TxEEE students about full-time positions and internship opportunities. 

For almost 20 years, the annual Cockrell School Forensics Engineering Conference has convened forensics engineering experts from companies and academia to tackle real-world case studies from all angles – structural, ethical and financial.

On July 1, 2023, I celebrated my one-year anniversary as TxEEE’s executive director, and what an exciting year it has been. Reflecting on the past year and looking to the future, there are both challenges and opportunities that I face in leading and growing TxEEE.

At TxEEE, we have an important role in bringing research to life – helping to translate it from the lab environment into working solutions that industry can disseminate.

The Energy Emissions Modeling and Data Lab (EEMDL) is a good example of how a cutting-edge research center at The University of Texas at Austin Cockrell School of Engineering is sharing its knowledge with companies and public agencies while ensuring proper training results from disseminating scientific advancements.

Committing to earning a master's degree is a big decision to balance with work and life. Why add that to your plate, and for what purpose? Read on to see what a few of our May 2023 graduates had to say. We are so proud of all our graduates. We celebrate their courage to pursue the challenge, the accomplishment of earning the degree and the many future successes to come.

Providing students with an immediate, recognized professional credential in addition to their master’s degree, Texas Engineering Executive Education (TxEEE) achieved formal certification by the American Society for Engineering Management (ASEM) for its Engineering Management program in April 2023. 

Brazilian Petroleum Corporation, better known as Petrobras, has a long history of collaboration with The University of Texas Cockrell School of Engineering. Of various collaborations, one, in particular, has been highly successful in providing specific, customized training for Petrobras employees.
