Access & Engagement

It is in the spirit of community that the college educates—from the pre-college through the doctoral levels—and collaborates with one another within the college and with the larger UT community.

In the Tickle College of Engineering, we embrace the Volunteer Spirit; we value academic research and rigor just as much as we value the inclusion of diverse students, faculty, and staff members. It is in the spirit of community that we educate—from the pre-college through the doctoral levels—and collaborate with one another within the college and with the larger university.

We are dedicated to expanding access to educational opportunities to aspiring engineers. We believe that engaging with individuals from all backgrounds and perspectives fosters a vibrant community for our Engineering Vols that enhances critical thinking and intellectual growth. As such, we are commuted to promoting an atmosphere where all members of our community feel welcome, can thrive, and achieve success.

We maintain that by promoting and embodying a culture of respect, we are better equipped to address the engineering challenges of our local and regional community, as well as the engineering challenges of our nation and beyond.
