Institute For Advanced Manufacturing - IAM

The UTRGV Institute for Advanced Manufacturing (IAM), formerly known as CAMICS (Center for Advanced Manufacturing and Cyber Systems), contributes to building a world-class American manufacturing base. The Institute offers strategically restructured research, education, and workforce development programs through which we prepare world-class engineers and workers equipped with the skills needed to operate, design, develop, and manage advanced manufacturing processes and systems.

The mission of UTRGV IAM is to integrate engineering disciplines that collectively support excellence in advanced manufacturing in the South Texas region, the U.S., and beyond. Through multiple externally funded projects, we build strong research, education, and outreach programs in defense materials and manufacturing, energy manufacturing, and systems, leveraging our strengths in additive, convergent, and transformative manufacturing processes.
