This Memorial Day, we pause to honor and remember the courageous individuals who gave their lives in service to our country. Their sacrifice and dedication will never be forgotten.

Please note that the campus will be closed in observance of Memorial Day on Monday, May 25.

We wish everyone a safe and meaningful holiday weekend as we reflect on the true meaning of this day.

Today marks the final day of classes, an important milestone in your academic journey.

This semester required focus, resilience, and dedication, and your efforts have not gone unnoticed. As you transition into summer break, we encourage you to take time to recharge while also considering the opportunities ahead: internships, research, and professional growth.

The work you’ve completed this semester is a step toward shaping the future of engineering.

Enjoy a well-deserved break, EE Mavericks!

May is here, bringing one of the most impactful times of the semester for our Electrical Engineering community.

From final exams to commencement at Globe Life Field, this month represents the culmination of hard work, dedication, and achievement. We’re also celebrating key moments like the HKN Student Banquet and recognizing important observances throughout the month.

Wishing all of our students the very best as they finish the semester strong and prepare for what’s next.

UTA secured an $86 million U.S. Navy contract to advance power and propulsion systems through its new PEIR Lab. Led by Dr. David Wetz, the facility simulates real-world ship conditions to test next-generation defense technologies. This partnership strengthens national security, drives federal investment into North Texas, and prepares a highly skilled engineering workforce for future naval innovation.

Curious about what undergraduate research looks like in action?

The 2026 Spring UROP & UGRAP Poster Presentation Showcase highlights the creativity, dedication, and innovation of UTA students across a wide range of disciplines. This is a great opportunity to explore current research projects, connect with student researchers, and gain insight into the impact of undergraduate research.

📅 April 24, 2026
⏰ 2:00 PM – 4:00 PM
📍 Chemistry and Physics Building (CPB), Atrium – 2nd & 3rd Floor

We encourage students, faculty, and staff to attend and support the next generation of researchers.

Earth Day challenges us to think beyond today and consider the long-term impact of our choices.

What kind of world do we want to leave behind? One shaped by rising challenges, or one transformed through innovation and responsibility?

Electrical engineering plays a critical role in addressing global warming—from renewable energy systems to smarter, more resilient grids. The future is not something we inherit; it’s something we design.

Today, we encourage you to reflect on your role in creating a more sustainable and responsible future.
