The University of Texas at ArlingtonFTW ASHRAE has been sponsoring a student branch at UTA for many years, and Senior engineering students have been participants in the Society sponsored design competitions. This year will be no exception, chapter member Nick Schroeder will help Chairman Matt Carter with mentoring the UTA students this year. Texas Christian UniversityOur goal for this year is to charter a student branch at TCU. The engineering program at TCU is entering it’s 15th year and it is high-time we developed a lasting presence on the campus.
