Technology Workforce Development Grant Program

In 2001, the 77th Texas Legislature passed the Technology Workforce Development Act, in response to requests by industry to increase the number of electrical engineering and computer science graduates from higher education institutions in the state. The purpose of the law is

  • to provide seed money that would enable institutions to expand enrollments in engineering and computer science programs,
  • to increase both the quantity and quality of baccalaureate-level engineers and computer scientists,
  • to foster cooperative relationships and activities involving technology companies and universities that offer engineering and computer science degrees.

 

This legislation created the Texas Engineering and Technical Consortium (TETC), the Technology Workforce Development (TWD) Grants Program, and charged the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) with administration of the grant program.
