International Experience Requirement
As a future engineer, you will be part of an ever-increasing international profession. To prepare you as a global citizen, the Whitacre College of Engineering requires all undergraduate students to have an international experience of 6 weeks or longer. There are four methods to complete the international experience requirement: study abroad, intern abroad, research abroad, or service-learning abroad. The International Engineering Program (IEP) team looks forward to assisting you in your experience abroad.

STEM Outreach During COVID-19
Whitacre College of Engineering STEM Outreach and Engagement was excited to take part in the Wallace Theater STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) Academy in Levelland, Texas. The WCOE provided hands-on engineering focused activities for elementary and middle school students. Committed to ensuring the health and safety of all participants, the WCOE and Dean Al Sacco donated TTU masks for everyone.

Distinguished Engineers 
The Distinguished Engineer Award was established during the 1966–1967 academic year to recognize the most outstanding former students of the Whitacre College of Engineering. Since that time, 230 former students of the Whitacre College of Engineering have received this honor. Recipients of the award must be distinguished in their profession, an inspiration to their peers, and have demonstrated a continuing interest in areas outside the field of engineering. Please join us in congratulating our 2020 Distinguished Engineers and Young Distinguished Engineers.
