J. Mike Walker ‘66, co-founder of Dril-Quip, has provided $20 million gifts each to the mechanical engineering departments of Texas A&M University and The University of Texas at Austin. Both departments have been officially renamed after Walker.
Dr. Ying Li was recently awarded a new grant from the National Science Foundation to support his research in developing an environmentally friendly method of recycling carbon dioxide.
The mechanical engineering industry advisory council has exceeded its fundraising expectations again as it seeks to help support the department now and into the future.
