About Us
We are the Engineering Research Agency of Texas.
We say that a lot because it's true: The Texas Engineering Experiment Station (TEES) is the engineering research agency of the State of Texas, and we're proud of it.
Our researchers conduct quality research and provide practical answers to critical state and national needs.
We partner with industries, communities and academic institutions to solve problems to help improve the quality of life, promote economic development and enhance the educational systems of Texas. We also promote new technology education and investigate problems in health and the environment. We serve as a catalyst for collaborations that position Texas to be especially competitive for federal dollars and play a major role in strengthening research leadership across the state.
Since the agency's inception in 1914, our purpose has been to conduct research to produce answers to urban difficulties and thus enhance the quality of life in Texas. Our researchers
- Perform quality research driven by current public needs.
- Leverage money we receive from the state to secure federal funding.
- Help academic institutions grow their research capacity.
- Improve the state's workforce by attracting more citizens to higher education through research opportunities.
- Help encourage graduate studies by providing exciting and challenging research opportunities to students.
It's what we do.
Our mission is to perform engineering and technology-oriented research and development for the enhancement of the educational systems and the economic development of the state of Texas and the nation.
That means that we perform relevant research driven by current public needs: that is, research that benefits the needs of the citizens of Texas and the world. And as an institute of higher education, we work to improve student performance in math, science and technology.
