This is the first edition of a new magazine for UT engineering alumni. We highlight alums who have excelled in industry, academia, politics and many other fields. These people, like you, deserve our recognition. This magazine is our way of celebrating every engineering alum's success. Many of you, like me, came with big dreams from a small town to UT. We sought knowledge and fun and a rewarding career, not always in that order. For some of us, the future beyond college wasn't as precise as our calculus needed to be, but we saw it as promising. For others the dream remained as sharp as it first appeared in grammar school: to be a professor, an astronaut, a design engineer. The following pages offer insight on our UT engineering colleagues whose careers were shaped by their time on our campus. Some decided to be pilots and never faltered in that pursuit. Others couldn't find the job they wanted, so they created one. Still others found their engineering minds were needed in professions far afield from the technical courses that first shaped them. As an engineering professor and now dean, it has been fun and inspiring for me to learn how alumni have used the education they received here. I wanted to share some of these stories with you, and the result is this new magazine for and about UT engineering alumni. I hope that you, like me, can take great pride in how our colleagues have sought to change the world for the better. And I hope you can see a bit of yourself in their accomplishments. I am proud of each of you for the reputations you have developed since you left the College of Engineering. You continue to contribute to the reputation of our College, and help us keep it among the top engineering schools in these United States.
Warmest regards,
