UT Tickle College of Engineering Dean Wayne T. Davis has appointed Dr. Veerle Keppens, professor and associate head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) as the college’s new Associate Dean for Faculty Affairs.
We are here, orientation is out of the way and class has started. First picture is students demonstrating the proper way to study thermodynamics, standing in front of a 1788 Boulton and Watt steam engine.
The trip to Austria has been amazing so far. We have learned lots of things about how the melting of glaciers will affect different countries water supply in the future.
Thirteen undergraduate students recently completed a nineteen-day study abroad course based in Innsbruck, Austria. Lectures focused on glacier mass contributions to streamflow and the use of dendrochronology (tree rings) in water resources.
So far the abroad experience in Innsbruck, Austria, is most definitely living up to its expectations. The Alps are the most gorgeous mountains I have ever seen!
