TAMU Engineering✓

Some engineers have study partners. Trent Ford ’29 has Miss Reveille X. ❣️ Meet Trent Ford, a sophomore general engineering student and @TAMU’s mascot corporal for the 2026-27 school year! As the caretaker of the Queen of Aggieland, Trent has a front-row seat to one of Texas A&M’s most beloved traditions. 🐾 #MascotCorporal #MissRev @aggiecorps @missrevx

RT @TEESresearch: $5.4 million in DOE (@ENERGY) funding will support TEES research led by Dr. Lin Shao to explore how thorium molten salt reactors could transform long-lived nuclear waste into usable fuel, advancing nuclear innovation and U.S. energy security. Read more:

Engineering innovation with real-world impact. Texas A&M professor emerita Dr. Robin R. Murphy has earned a spot on the 2026 Forbes 50 Over 50: Impact list for her pioneering work in disaster robotics and continued research advancing AI for emergency response. Congratulations on this well-deserved recognition! 👏 🔗

Jordan Ellington ’14 is making an impact at the intersection of engineering, innovation and the future of energy. 🔋 After graduating summa cum laude in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M, Ellington built his career from Chevron to his current role as executive vice president and asset manager at Matador Resources, where he champions emerging technologies and supports the next generation of engineers. Here’s to Ellington’s continued impact on engineering, energy and future Aggies! 💪

Strong partnerships open doors to global opportunities. 🌎💪 Halliburton and the Halliburton Foundation are expanding their support for Texas A&M Engineering’s global programs, building on an 11-year collaboration to prepare students for careers in an increasingly connected world. 🔗

This week's #SaturdayShoutout goes to Elo Tobi '27! 👏 As a Civil Ambassador and member of NSBE and ASCE, Elo is helping build community while supporting future Aggie engineers. She describes her @TAMU experience as eye-opening, helping her grow personally, professionally and academically while discovering what she's capable of. #TAMUengr #GigEm

Leadership goes beyond the classroom! 📚 Through the Zachry Leadership Program, students come together for retreats filled with shared experiences, new perspectives and opportunities to grow as leaders. These are the moments that turn a cohort into a community! 🫂

RT @SamsungAustin: From overcoming adversity to joining our Samsung Emerging Engineer Development program, Samantha Merton’s journey is a testament to perseverance and the power of workforce investment.

The Texas A&M Space Institute (@TAMUSpace) is nearly ready to open its doors in Houston! 🙌 With less than ONE MONTH until the private grand opening event, we’re excited to see this facility reach its next chapter. #TAMU #SpaceResearch #SneakPeak #TAMUSpace

150 looks good on us 😌👍 Celebrate 150 years of Aggie Spirit with an exclusive engineering t-shirt design made for the milestone! Get your limited-time 150th merch before it's gone:

From neurons to materials, researchers are exploring new ways to rethink computing. Dr. Perla Balbuena and Dr. Alejandro Aviles Sanchez are studying how electrons and ions move through metal-organic frameworks, uncovering a microscopic mechanism that could help researchers design materials with the adaptive electrical behavior needed for next-generation neuromorphic technologies. 🔗

Anthony J. “Tony” Best ’72 is a true example of Aggie leadership and service. 👍 With more than 40 years in the energy industry, Best has built a distinguished career while continuing to give back through nonprofit service and his connection to Texas A&M as a Distinguished Alumnus. Cheers to Best’s remarkable career and a lifetime of service to others and Texas A&M! 👏

Can AI get brain rot, too? 🧠 Turns out, junk data can lead to “thought skipping” in AI models, causing them to skip steps in their reasoning. Texas A&M Engineering researchers are working to help AI think more reliably, starting with better data. Read more 👉

This week's #SaturdayShoutout goes to Hezekiah Reddell '27! 👏 Through Formula Electric and FREE, Hezekiah has found opportunities to grow as an engineer while building lasting connections with fellow Aggies. He describes his #TAMUengr experience as "unforgettable," crediting the support of his friends and classmates for helping him persevere through every challenge. #GigEm #TAMUengr

For Dr. Ravi Thyagarajan, sustainability isn’t just a classroom topic — it’s an engineering challenge. 🌱💪 Through hands-on projects, he helps Aggie engineers turn renewable energy concepts into solutions that can improve lives. From solar-powered shelters to an electric race car, his students have been able to build and test their solutions. 🔗

What started as a concept became a competition-ready drone in just eight months. 🏆✈️ Led by aerospace engineering professor Dr. Moble Benedict, a team of students designed and built a drone capable of carrying more than twice its own weight across four nautical miles in just 12 minutes at the first-ever DARPA Lift Challenge. 🔗

What made Dean Bishop want to become an engineer? What does he think is the greatest engineering marvel? And what advice does he have for students looking for opportunities at @TAMU? We covered those questions and a few others, including one about a certain secret talent. 🖌️

In 2019, Nathan Bliss shared his brother’s journey with a rare genetic condition inspired his dream of becoming a physician-scientist. Today, he's graduated from medical school and is beginning the next chapter of that dream. Read his story: #TAMUEngineering #AggieEngineer

For John Hayes, finding his place in space research meant changing course. Now a @NASA fellow, Hayes studies how disorientation in changing gravity can affect astronauts’ ability to pilot and dock spacecraft, using VR and vestibular stimulation to recreate those effects on Earth. 🧑‍🚀 From pre-med to aerospace research, his path wasn’t a straight line, but each turn helped shape the researcher he is today. 🔗

RT @TAMUSpace: A new chapter is taking shape in Houston. Texas A&M University (@TAMU) is building the Texas A&M Space Institute to advance research and innovation in space exploration. Follow along as we approach our grand opening! 🌌
