Local company donates to UTSA College of Engineering

(April 17, 2002)—The University of Texas at San Antonio College of Engineering received a $22,000 gift from C²M, a local general contracting company, to assist in the purchase of new laboratory equipment. The equipment will be used in the senior design laboratory testing general relativity.

"Our ability to provide the next generation of engineers is directly dependent upon companies and individuals supporting the efforts at UTSA. We are grateful to Joe Castillo and C²M for this unselfish act of generosity," said Zorica Pantic-Tanner, dean of the College of Engineering.

"We are very proud to be able to support the College of Engineering at UTSA," said Joe L. Castillo, president of C²M Inc. "Our ability to grow and thrive in South Texas will be in direct proportion to our ability to educate the next generation of engineers."

With enrollment of over 1,000, College of Engineering offers undergraduate and graduate degrees in civil engineering, mechanical engineering and electrical engineering.

The first doctorate degree in electrical engineering will be offered fall 2002. Two doctoral degree programs in environmental science and engineering and biomedical engineering are under development and will be presented for approval to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board later this year.
