At The University of Texas at Arlington, the question “how” inspires innovative approaches to meeting challenges that will shape our future.

Two internationally recognized professors described how "breakthrough moments" led to developments that transform our lives in innumerable ways, such as creating smartphones that offer real-time word suggestions when texting. And UT Arlington research teams introduced Committee members to the ways in which drones can be used to enhance their work.
