Impact
Message
The University of Texas at Dallas has experienced profound and significant growth, becoming an energetic, top-tier national research institution that embodies innovation and collaboration. The University’s roots, however, go back to 1961 when three founders of Texas Instruments — Eugene McDermott, J. Erik Jonsson and Cecil Green — established a vision to advance research and train scientists that would push the boundaries on innovation and support Dallas-Fort Worth area’s growth. Today, excellence permeates throughout the University and specifically, within the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science (Jonsson School).
In my three decades at UT Dallas, I have watched the Jonsson School grow into an incredibly robust engineering and computer science school in Dallas-Fort Worth, nearly doubling in size in the last decade with over 7,600 students enrolled and an undergraduate student body whose average SAT scores are among the highest of any public university in Texas. U.S. News and World Report also puts our undergraduate engineering programs in the top public institutions in Texas. With more than 165 tenured and tenure-track faculty members, the school is a driver of research and innovation with $50 million in research expenditures annually in areas including cybersecurity, machine learning, computing, communications, devices and circuits, power electronics, energy conversion systems, medical devices, imaging, biosensors, and more.
Over 70 percent of Jonsson School alumni stay in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, making UT Dallas a key supplier of talent to local companies and supporting DFW’s rapid growth. Jonsson School students and faculty also engage in an array of community outreach programs, after school programming, summer camps, and continuing education for North Texas community members, including K-12 schools and professional development programs.
Last year, we opened the doors to the 220,000-square-foot Bioengineering and Sciences Building and this year we opened a world-class, 200,000-square-foot engineering facility that will predominantly house our Department of Mechanical Engineering. These state-of-the-art classrooms and research and teaching labs
will provide invaluable resources for our faculty and students, thus symbolizing the commitment to partnership between the Jonsson School and our industry partners.
Advancing solutions to society’s most critical challenges require innovators, problem solvers and entrepreneurs. The faculty, students, and alumni from the Jonsson School form a cadre of talent dedicated to that mission. We now embark on our Fearless 2020 vision—a comprehensive engagement initiative focused on creating opportunities to transform our community through education. This initiative builds upon our founders’ fearless vision of breaking down boundaries and impacting technology across the globe, enabling our community to rise to new levels of excellence and solve some of the world’s most pressing problems. I invite you to learn more about it here: engineering.utdallas.edu/fearless2020/.
Join our efforts to imagine, create, and sustain our bold Fearless 2020 vision for the Jonsson School. Through our dauntless commitment to research and innovation, together, you and UT Dallas can impact the world.

About
The Jonsson School: AT A GLANCE
The Jonsson School is one of the most rigorous, technologically advanced and diverse programs in the country. We serve as an economic engine of growth and innovation for North Texas with our focus on industry–relevant research and education. To that end, teams from our corporate-sponsored capstone program, UTDesign®, have taken top honors at national competitions in recent years, as well as founded startups. The Jonsson School has a legacy of
inclusion, ranking in the top in the nation of number of degrees awarded to women in our oldest programs – computer science and electrical engineering.
And, UT Dallas is tied at 2nd in Texas and 11th in the nation in ethnic diversity, according to U.S. News and World Report.
Since 2008, the Jonsson School has doubled in size with the creation of four new departments and nine new degree programs, including those in the areas of mechanical engineering, systems engineering, materials science and engineering, and biomedical engineering. A new 200,000-square-foot engineering building – featured as the background image of this site – opened in the fall of 2018 and houses the Department of Mechanical Engineering. Along with the recently opened
220,000–square–foot Bioengineering and Sciences Building, the facility will help the University accommodate the rapid growth of the Jonsson School.
