Summer greetings from ASE/EM! We closed out the spring semester by celebrating commencement with a reception held in the halls of WRW. This spring, the department granted 65 B.S., 9 M.S. and 2 Ph.D. degrees. It is with great pride that we send these Longhorns out to change the world. We have a variety of stories to share with you this summer. From satellites and UAVs taking measurements of the earth, to updates on our student projects, I invite you to learn more about the innovative work our faculty and students are doing. As always, please continue to send us your news and updates.

This spring, the Women in Engineering for Leadership Development (WIALD) student organization successfully launched a BalloonSat to over 1,000 feet and captured live video of the edge of space. In the Air System Lab, the UT Design, Build, Fly Team placed 7th among 60 competing teams at the annual DBF competition, and in early May the UT team won best prize in its first micro air vehicle competition.
