Welcome to CECS: Your Gateway to a Better Life

It’s great to be a Vaquero Engineer and Computer Scientist at the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. We are in one of the fastest growing areas of the world with a USA and Mexico regional population of 3.5 million people. The Valley is a center for culture and booming trade, and is one of the safest places in the USA with a low cost of living. We are indeed fortunate. As the saying goes: When you’re hot, you’re hot. And we are on fire with our afterburners lit up with nitro added for good measure.

As Engineers and Computer Scientists we advance the world with cutting edge high technology knowledge done with heart, creativity and, in particular, family values. Our region values family and you will join our Vaquero family as we embed ourselves in the tremendous Magical Valley communities that spread over 145 miles from the sea to deep inland, from South Padre Island, to Brownsville, to Harlingen, to McAllen, to Edinburg, to Rio Grande City and more regionally, nationally and internationally. We serve as a role model for diversity, community, and growth for the nation and world. You will become a leader where your Engineering and Computer Science (ECS) education will provide a path to a better life for you and those you touch.

With best wishes,

College of Engineering and Computer Science.

Bienvenidos a la Facultad de Ingeniería e Informática:

El portal hacia un futuro mejor.

Ser un ingeniero o experto en informática es algo estupendo para un Vaquero de la Universidad de Texas de El Valle del Río Grande. Estamos ubicados en una de las regiones de mayor crecimiento del mundo, con una población estadounidense y mexicana de 3.5 millones de habitantes. El Valle es un auténtico centro cultural y de prosperidad comercial, así como uno de los lugares más seguros del país, con un costo de vida muy asequible. Somos muy afortunados. Como dice el refrán: «No se puede esconder una lámpara encendida debajo de la mesa», y aquí tenemos todos los focos prendidos a toda potencia para ustedes.

Como ingenieros y expertos en informática, contribuimos a hacer progresar el mundo con conocimientos de alta tecnología hecha con alma, con creatividad y, en especial, con valores familiares. Nuestra región valora a la familia y extendemos una invitación a sumarse a la nuestra: la familia Vaquera. Nos preciamos de integrarnos en nuestras comunidades locales a lo largo de este Valle maravilloso que se extiende por más de 145 millas desde el litoral hasta el interior, desde la Isla del Padre, pasando por Brownsville, Harlingen, McAllen, Edinburg y hasta Río Grande City y más allá, a nivel regional, nacional e internacional. Constituimos un auténtico un modelo, tanto para la nación como para el mundo, en términos de diversidad, implicación en la comunidad y crecimiento. Nuestro graduados serán auténticos referentes, y su formación en la Facultad de Ingeniería e Informática (ECS, por sus siglas en inglés) les facilitará el camino hacia un mejor futuro para todos nosotros y nuestro entorno.

Mis mejores deseos,

Facultad de Ingeniería e Informática.
