“Texas A&M University was founded to serve,” says Ethan Braden, Texas A&M’s vice president and chief marketing and communications officer. “While many debate what is the best university in the nation, we are focused on being the best university for the nation.”

At Texas A&M, I teach brilliant students ready to tackle real-world problems with robots. Educating the workforce about how to leverage robots will empower the next generation and dispel fear.

Texas A&M University has brought AR/VR production into its celebrated Visualization program, letting students learn to build state-of-the-art virtual productions before they leave college.
