Feb. 2025 - The UA 11th and 12th grade Engineering class in collaboration with the UT Tyler Chemical Engineering Department put on a great Water Bottle and CO2 Rocket demonstration for our 8th and 9th grade science classes at the Discovery Science Place last Friday. They learned about rocket trajectories, how to calculate maximum height using geometry, and got to design and launch their own water bottle and CO2 rockets. Thank you to the DSP for hosting a great E-Week event and providing this fun STEM learning experience!

Dec. 10, 2024 - Swoop made a surprise visit to the UA Tyler campus to recognize Gavin Green, the first UA-Tyler class of 2025 senior to commit to UT Tyler this fall. Gavin has been a UA student since his third grade year. He will major in Electrical Engineering. When asked why UT Tyler, Gavin said he chose them because UT Tyler's Engineering program is currently ranked 74th in the nation by U.S. News and World Report, and third-best in the state for undergraduate programs not offering doctoral degrees.
