Board of Advisors
The Engineering Department's industrial Board of Advisors is a major contributor to our
students' interactions with industry, engineering practitioners and employers. The Board meets twice a
year on the Trinity campus with faculty and invited speakers attending.
Members exchange ideas on assisting with industry-sponsored senior design projects, obtaining summer and
permanent employment for our students, and providing speakers for the Department's meetings and
workshops. The Board also contributes by making funds available for design projects and academic
improvement.
Trinity's Engineering Board of Advisors is made up of representatives from:
- H-E-B
- Beckwith Electronic Engineering Co.
- Black & Veatch Corporation
- Chapman Engineering Services, Inc.
- ChevronTexaco
- City Public Service
- Uniden American
- Dow Chemical Company
- Dupont-Dow Elastomers
- Kinetic Concepts, Inc.
- Moorhouse Construction
- Motorola
- Karta Technologies
- San Antonio Water System
- SBC Corp.
- Science Applications International (SAIC)
- Southwest Research Institute
- Valero Energy Corp.
The University would like to thank all of the members of the Trinity Engineering Board of Advisors for
their dedicated service to the engineering program and looks forward to continued productive
collaboration in the future.

Our Alumni
Upon completion of the Bachelor of Science degree, approximately
70% of our graduates (varies by year) go directly into industry and business.
Trinity's Counseling and Career Services Department helps to
facilitate job placement. Networking among the Engineering Science
Board of Advisors, faculty and alumni also plays a valuable role in
securing jobs for students. Employers have included:
- IBM
- Boeing
- Dow Chemical
- Science Applications International (SAIC)
- Advanced Micro Devices
- United Space Alliance
- Texas Instruments
- McDonnell Douglas
- Southwest
Research Institute
- Columbia Industries
The remaining 30% of our graduates enter top rated graduate schools
such as Stanford, Georgia Tech., the University of Minnesota, the
University of Texas at Austin, the University of California,
Berkeley in the electrical, chemical or mechanical engineering
disciplines. Some graduates have opted to continue their studies at
medical school or law school. Examples include the University of
Texas Southwest Medical Center at Dallas and the University of Texas
Law School.
