Academy member Amadeo Saenz, Jr., (center) was inducted in Fall 2008. He is the former Executive Director of the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), where he has had a productive and stimulating career. With him are member Bill Epsey (left) and CAEE Chair Sharon L. Wood.
The Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering Academy of Distinguished Alumni was established to recognize the professional achievements and contributions of our graduates. The members of the academy also serve as leaders and role models among alumni and students.
Twenty-seven charter members, all Distinguished Graduates at the Cockrell School of Engineering or CAEE departmental level, were inducted into the Academy on November 7, 2003. Every fall since, eight to nine additional members are inducted into the Academy.
