The UTEP College of Engineering invites all engineering and computer science alumni, friends, and supporters to join us in celebrating Homecoming Week: September 21–27, 2025!

Each year, the Gold Nugget Award honors exceptional alumni who have excelled professionally and remain deeply connected to UTEP. In 2025, we are especially proud to celebrate two outstanding leaders from the College of Engineering: Ruben Chavez (B.S. in Civil Engineering, 1995), founder and president of CEA Engineering Group, whose work has transformed infrastructure across the region; and Bernardino Olague (B.S. in Civil Engineering, 1991; M.S. in Civil Engineering, 2001), president and CEO of LOI Engineers, recognized for his leadership in geotechnical engineering and his commitment to supporting future engineers through mentorship and service. Their achievements reflect the impact and excellence of Miner Engineers. Read the announcement.

Whether you graduated five years ago or fifty, this is your chance to reconnect and see how Miner Engineers continue to make an impact.
