About

Join us to support the College of Engineering during Give Day 2026

Aggie Engineers are engineering a better world for all.

Through bold innovation, collaborative problem solving and a deep commitment to the public good, we tackle the challenges that matter most to our communities and our planet. What sets us apart is not only our research and hands-on learning, but the way we bring disciplines together, connect people and ideas, and prepare students to lead with purpose.

Collaboration is at the heart of who we are. Our students learn by doing, our faculty expand the frontiers of discovery, and together we turn big questions into real-world solutions that improve lives and create lasting change.

We did not get here alone. We stand on the shoulders of the Aggie Engineers who came before us, and we move forward because of the alumni, partners and friends who believe in our mission and invest in our students and research. Behind every successful Aggie Engineer is someone who offered encouragement, opportunity and support at just the right moment.

This Give Day, we invite you to pay it forward with a gift to your home department or one of the outstanding student programs and clubs we are highlighting. Your generosity helps the next generation of Aggie Engineers turn their big dreams into meaningful, lasting impact.

An R1 research institution, we prepare our students to be bold and collaborative

Three students work in Professor Vougioukas’ robotic lab.

Three students work in Professor Vougioukas’ robotic lab.

Stavros Vougioukas PhD., professor of biological and agricultural engineering, is developing robotic technologies to help farm workers be more efficient and safer when working in the fields, especially during labor-intensive tasks like harvesting.

Robots can carry harvested produce, allowing workers to spend less time walking and more time picking fruit, helping them boost productivity and earn higher wages. Improved efficiency helps farms adapt to changing labor dynamics and rising costs.

Currently, nine graduate students and three undergraduates work in Vougioukas’ lab, gaining invaluable hands-on experience with technologies designed to make agriculture healthier, safer, and more sustainable for future generations.

When you support the College of Engineering this Give Day, including your home department, you make these types of research experiences possible. Go Ags!
