Mission
The University of Texas at Arlington sets the standard for educational excellence. Through life-enhancing research, innovative teaching and community service, UT Arlington Mavericks challenge convention and transform the world in which they live. In fact, UT Arlington's research expenditures have more than doubled in the past five years. Since 2003, faculty disclosures of intellectual property have increased from 26 to 60 and patents filed from 15 to 34. This means real-world research addressing real-world needs. For instance: The new Texas Instruments Distinguished University Chair in Nanoelectronics is exploring commercialization of biosensor platforms for drug discovery and medical diagnostics. UT Arlington and the Arlington Chamber of Commerce dedicated the Center for Innovation in 2009. The center focuses on increasing economic development through research. Bioengineering Department faculty are conducting research in optical medical imaging that seeks improved surgical procedures for implanting deep brain stimulators to combat cancer. The Center for Renewable Energy Science and Technology is developing low-cost biodiesel fuel processing and novel solar hydrogen generation technologies. Psychology professors are studying the impact of genetics on drug addiction, depression and disorders like Parkinson???s disease. Electrical engineering researchers are developing wireless sensors that, when implanted in the body, show promise in combating gastroesophageal reflux disease, pain and other medical conditions. Chemistry and biochemistry faculty are exploring compounds in a person???s breath for clues to the diagnosis and treatment of disease. Engineers and scientists in the Nanotechnology Research and Teaching Facility are manipulating individual atoms and molecules that could herald the next electronics revolution. Department of Kinesiology researchers are examining rehabilitation interventions to decrease the risk of falls in sighted and legally blind older adults. Psychology researchers are studying the rehabilitation of military personnel returning from Afghanistan and Iraq with musculoskeletal extremity injuries. UT Arlington is one of five Tier 2 supercomputing centers in the United States to be used by all ATLAS physicists at the Large Hadron Collider in Switzerland. The ATLAS is one of four detectors at the powerful new accelerator where scientists study how the universe works at its most fundamental level. Collaboration among nursing, biology and psychology, the new Genomics Translational Research Laboratory works to bridge the gap between discoveries in genomics and patient care. These innovative research initiatives will be further enhanced by the 2011 completion of an engineering research complex, which will also include a component for science research. UT Arlington embraces an active-learning environment that places students at the center of the learning process. Many of the University's 1,100 faculty are recognized nationally and internationally for their teaching and research expertise. US News & World Report named three of the university???s online programs among the best in the nation. The Studio Arts Center's spacious facilities for glass, neon, painting, sculpture, metals, clay and printmaking attract some of the country's most talented art students to UT Arlington. The School of Urban and Public Affairs is recognized as one of the country???s best public affairs programs. The School of Architecture is tied for first in the nation for the ???Most Innovative Architecture Program??? award from the Design Intelligence Journal. The College of Business has the largest executive MBA program in China. The Hispanic Outlook in Higher Education magazine selected UT Arlington as one of the top 100 four-year colleges for Hispanics in 2006.
