Research Collaboration

Multidisciplinary collaboration drives innovation.  The Cockrell School of Engineering research teams partner with industry, agencies and other constituencies to solve key engineering challenges.    

There are numerous ways to engage with Cockrell research.  Funding can support specific research projects through monetary gifts of research contracts.  Industry partners support research initiatives through contributing to affiliates programs, joining consortia and collaborating with research centers.

Research Relations supports corporate partners in developing long term research engagement strategies around key Cockrell School priorities and linking to the broader UT research community.
