Dr. Mary Jo Kirisits earns the 2022 Maxine and Jack Zarrow Family K-16 Teaching Innovation Award
Dr. Mary Jo Kirisits, environmental engineering professor for CAEE, has won the 2022 Maxine and Jack Zarrow Family K-16 Teaching Innovation Award. The award is reserved for faculty members in the Cockrell School of Engineering who has most impacted students in K-12 and beyond, encouraging enrollment into STEM education and empirically improving the educational experience across all grade levels.
Dr. Todd Helwig wins the AISI Steel Bridge Task Force 2022 Richard S. Fountain Award
Dr. Todd Helwig, professor and director of the Ferguson Structural Engineering Laboratory, has won the 2022 Richard S. Fountain Award for his innovation and leadership within the steel industry.
2022 Lymon C. Reese Distinguished Lecture
Professor Lymon C. Reese had a 33-year career at UT Austin, conducting pioneering work in performing field studies with instrumented piles and drilled shafts. Elected to the National Academy of Engineering in 1975, he developed analytical methods now widely used in the design of deep foundations.
CAEE Welcomes New Faculty Member Matt Bartos
Matt Bartos is the department's new Environmental and Water Resources Engineering assistant professor.
August 27, 2020
Matt Bartos will join the Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin as an assistant professor in our Environmental and Water Resources Engineering group in January 2021.
Matt Bartos obtained his Ph.D. in Civil Engineering at the University of Michigan. He holds a B.S.E. in Environmental Engineering and a B.A. in English Literature from Arizona State University. He also holds an M.S. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Michigan.
Matt’s research focuses on building a new generation of smart stormwater systems. These systems use real-time sensing and control to deliver improved performance and mitigate water hazards. Major areas of interest include urban flood mitigation; sensing and control of urban water quality; digital twin models for water infrastructure; and coupled operation of interdependent water, power and transportation systems.
"It's a huge honor to join the faculty team at UT Austin. I can't think of a better place to start a research program focused on smart civil infrastructure. I'm looking forward to inspiring a new generation of engineers to build the cities of the future!" said Bartos.

UT Establishes the Fariborz Maseeh Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering
The University of Texas at Austin will reimagine its approach to training civil, architectural and environmental engineering students as society’s designers, with a renewed emphasis on leadership and service needed to solve global challenges. A transformational investment from a UT alumnus will galvanize this approach, which he calls “engineering the big.”
Civil, Environmental Engineering Again Ranked Among Top Undergraduate Engineering Programs
The Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has once again been named one of the nation’s top engineering schools.
Why Black Neighborhoods Have More Vehicle-Pedestrian Crashes
There's a growing body of research showing that members of marginalized populations are more likely to be involved in severe or fatal crashes as pedestrians, and that disparity is on the rise.
Seismic Design Team competes in San Francisco
Students from the University of Texas CAEE Seismic Design Team traveled to San Francisco, California in April to participate in the 2023 Undergraduate Seismic Design Competition. In this competition, which is hosted by the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute, student teams are required to submit RFPs in response to a prompt modeled around a real-world scenario. This year’s problem statement required students to design skybridges connecting two new building structures.
