Giving
Since its founding in 1913, the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering has been a national leader in engineering education. In order to maintain our focus on developing future industry and academic leaders, maximizing our research capabilities and strengthening our national position, we need the continued support of our extraordinary alumni and friends.
Make an Annual Gift to the Department
Every year, gifts from alumni, parents, faculty, staff and others provide a vital stream of flexible funding that sustains and enhances the Mechanical Engineering student experience. The Cockrell School's generous annual fund supporters help to strengthen our academic programs and address immediate needs in the school and departments.
Show your support for the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering, our students and our faculty by making a gift — of any size — to the department.
Support the Department's Five-Year Fundraising Campaign
In 2013, the Walker Department of Mechanical Engineering celebrated its 100-year anniversary as an engineering program at UT Austin. To kickoff the centennial, the department launched a five-year, $5 million fundraising effort to recruit top students and support the undergraduate experience. The campaign focuses on two primary initiatives:
- Elevate ME: This initiative seeks to increase the number of women in the department.
- Excellence in Undergraduate Education: This initiative seeks to increase research stipends, upgrade facilities and expand project-centered education.
