In Memoriam 

This annual report is dedicated to 

Franklin Beaumont Johnson, Jr. 

1923-2006 

“The reward of teaching is not monetary. The real rewards come later 

and are the many cards, letters, and visits from the alumni with expressions 

of gratitude for your efforts during their time at The University of 

Texas.” - F.B. Johnson, Jr., 1988 

Franklin B. Johnson, Jr., had a long and very rewarding career, and all of 

the expressions of gratitude he received were well deserved. 

Frank loved his country, his family, and his many friends. He enriched 

the lives of all who knew and loved him, and he will be sorely missed.

Two alumni were honored as Distinguished Engineering Graduates of the Cockrell 

School of Engineering at the December 2006 graduation ceremony: 

Joseph W. Blandford, BS 1972 

President, Blandford Partnership, LLC 

Joseph Blandford improved oil and gas recovery efforts through innovative technology 

that he developed while leading Atlantia Offshore in Houston for more than two decades. 

His offshore technology focus began while earning a bachelors degree in civil engineering 

with an ocean option from The University of Texas at Austin in 1972. 

After graduation, he designed and constructed tanker terminals for Fluor Ocean 

Services and completed his masters degree in civil engineering in 1977. In 1979, Blandford 

founded Atlantia Offshore and now has more than 60 patents to his credit for creating 

and advancing offshore technology in shallow and deepwater marginal fields. 

Rex W. Tillerson, BS 1975 

Chairman and CEO, Exxon Mobil Corporation 

Rex Tillerson oversees the global operations of the worlds largest non-government 

energy company. He has been influential in many of the worlds major oil and gas 

exploration and development projects. 

In 1975 he was hired as a production engineer at the former Exxon Company, U.S.A. 

He has served as president of Exxon Yemen, Esso Exploration and Production Khorat Inc., 

and subsequently Exxon Neftegas Ltd., responsible for Exxons upstream holdings in Yemen, 

Thailand and Russia. In 1999, Tillerson became executive vice president of ExxonMobil 

Development Company, overseeing the companys major upstream development projects 

worldwide. In 2001 he became senior vice president of Exxon Mobil Corp. and in 2004 he 

was elected president of the corporation. He assumed his current position as chairman 

and chief executive officer in January, 2006.

2007 outstAnding young grAduAte 

miChAel w. smArt, msCe, 1996 

During the May 2007 commencement ceremonies the Cockrell School of Engineering 

recognizes outstanding young graduates who have become influential leaders in the 

engineering community. 

Michael W. Smart has gained considerable expertise in bridge design and construction 

in a short amount of time. In the eleven years that followed his graduation from the 

structural engineering program, he has worked under world-renown bridge engineers on 

several large international projects and co-founded an award-winning bridge engineering 

firm. 

Before attending the University of Texas at Austin, Smart graduated from Louisiana 

State University with a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering. He came to UT to earn a 

graduate degree (M.S.C.E. ‘96) and became known for his strong work ethic and for helping 

out his fellow research students at the J.J. Pickle Labs. In 1995, Smart began his career 

working for J. Muller International (JMI). In 2000, Smart co-founded International Bridge 

Technologies, Inc. (IBT) with his mentor, Daniel Tassin. IBT has become internationally 

recognized for outstanding bridge engineering. In 2004, the company won the American 

Council of Engineering Companies Grand Award for Excellence in Engineering Design for 

the Santa Catarina Bridge in Monterrey, Mexico. IBT has completed other major bridge 

projects in Australia, India, Jamaica and the U.S. 

A longtime supporter of UT’s structural engineering program, Smart credits his success 

to the solid background in the fundamentals of structural engineering he obtained here, 

the classical style of mentoring he has received and the strong teams of which he has been 

a part.

Alumni outreACh ProgrAm 

In 2007, the department began offering our alumni the opportunity to earn credit toward 

maintaining P.E. licensure. Alumni from Houston, Dallas, Austin and surrounding 

cities were invited to attend area ethics presentations during lunchtime where they received 

a one-hour professional development credit. Presentations are given by a faculty 

member who discusses engineering failures and the professional/ethical issues they have 

encountered. This year’s presentation, “Hurricane Katrina and the New Orleans Levees: 

What Went Wrong and Why” was given by geotechnical professor Bob Gilbert. 

Bob Gilbert leads a discussion on the failure of New Orleans’ levees.

grAduAte ProgrAm 

The Department of Civil, Architectural and Environmental Engineering offers the Master 

of Science in Engineering degree in civil engineering, architectural engineering, and 

environmental and water resources engineering; the Doctor of Philosophy degree is 

offered only in civil engineering. Graduate students select from a number of specialty 

areas—including construction engineering and project management, construction 

materials, environmental and water resources engineering, building environmental systems, 

geotechnical engineering, ocean engineering, structural engineering, and transportation 

engineering. Most students have a bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline from 

an accredited program; however, non-engineering majors are admitted, on a very limited 

basis, after completing certain minimum academic requirements. 

Graduate Applications and Enrollment 

Applications to the graduate program increased slightly from the previous year with 

642 complete applications for fall 2006 compared with 604 for fall 2005. The number of 

U.S. applications decreased by about 5%, while there was a 13% increase in international 

applications from fall 2005.

Financial Support 

Various financial assistance options are available to graduate students. Most full-time 

students receive some form of financial support -- the primary sources of support are 

graduate research assistantships, teaching assistantships and grader positions. Other sources 

outside the University provide additional funds. Teaching assistantships are available to 

a limited number of graduate students to assist the faculty in preparing and conducting 

laboratory and/or design sessions. 

Graduate Fellowships 

The Graduate Fellowship Committee—comprising faculty from six specialty areas, plus 

the graduate advisors—nominates students for graduate fellowships. Awards are made to 

both incoming and continuing students on a competitive basis. 

U.S. applicants in the top ten percent of their national peer group are recruited with 

a University Preemptive Fellowship offer. One year full-fellowships and partial-fellowships 

are awarded, ranging from $5,000 to $26,000. 

Thrust 2000 fellowships, Dean’s Chair for Excellence fellowships, and other endowed 

fellowships administered through the College of Engineering also are used primarily for 

recruitment. These fellowships are offered to outstanding U.S. students, who plan to 

pursue the Ph.D. In addition, Thrust recipients receive a half-time research or teaching 

assistantship from the department. The Thrust fellowships pay $9,000 and are renewable 

for up to four years; endowed fellowships usually pay between $2,000 and $3,000. 

A limited number of continuing students also receive fellowships. The premiere 

academic achievement award is the University Continuing Fellowship. This award pays 

$16,000-$18,000 for two long-term semesters and $2,650 per long semester in tuition 

support.
