The University of Texas at Tyler announced that the College of Engineering ranked 75th in the nation on the U.S. News and World Report’s 2022 Best Undergraduate Engineering Programs list.
The College of Engineering has made the publication’s top 100 list for three consecutive years, rising this time from the previous ranking of 91. UT Tyler also ranked highest among Texas public institutions for undergraduate engineering programs. The rankings are based on surveys of deans and senior faculty members at peer institutions accredited by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
“Receiving this level of recognition from the U.S. News and World Report, one of the nation’s most respected ranking organizations, speaks to the quality and breadth of our programs and the dedication of our faculty to student success,’’ said Javier Kypuros, Ph.D., dean of the College of Engineering. “Our graduates have gone on to head engineering firms, manage teams in fortune 500 companies, establish successful start-ups and lead professional associations, and they are among the highest paid of all UT System engineering alumni.’’
UT Tyler offers the only comprehensive college of engineering in East Texas, with degree programs in the four primary engineering disciplines – chemical, civil, electrical and mechanical. The college also offers a construction management program and has instructional sites on the university’s main campus in Tyler and at the UT Tyler Houston Engineering Center in the Houston area.
Student organizations in the college have garnered top finishes in competitions such as Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers Robotics and American Society of Civil Engineers Concrete Canoe competitions.
