The Lhakhang is a cultural exhibit – not a temple – that was first exhibited in Washington, D.C., during the 2008 Folklife Festival. There are ceremonial flags – never prayer flags – outside the Centennial Museum. Bhutanese items on campus also may be referred to as cultural artifacts.

    THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS AT EL PASO College of Engineering Department of Industrial, Manufacturing, and Systems Engineering Professor of Practice (Open Rank) in Systems Engineering About the University of Texas at El Paso: The University of Texas at El Paso and its access and excellence mission are redefining public higher education not only in Texas, but also across the nation. In December 2018, the Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education designated UTEP as an R1 research university. Meanwhile, the University also has earned national recognition as a leader in how best to serve first-generation, Hispanic students and improve their social mobility. Since opening its doors along the U.S.-Mexico border in 1914 as the Texas State School of Mines and Metallurgy, UTEP has enabled generations of students to pursue their goals through higher education in one of the world’s largest binational communities. Over the past century, the University’s enrollment has grown from 27 mining students to more than 25,000 undergraduate and graduate students, and that number increases annually. In addition, the faculty at UTEP are considered some of the nation’s happiest people, according to one author who traveled the country by Greyhound bus to research happiness. The University invests $91 million in research annually which ranks the University among the top 200 universities in the nation. More than $44 million of this is in federal research spending, which ranks fourth among all Texas public universities. UTEP maintains an operating budget of $450 million and employs approximately 4,000 people. UTEP offers a broad array of degree programs – 74 bachelor’s, 74 master’s, and 22 doctorates – taught by outstanding faculty who have been recognized for their commitment to student success.
