150 Years of Engineering Excellence.
The Next Chapter Is Yours to Build.
Since 1876, Prairie View A&M has prepared engineers and computer scientists who solve problems that matter — from the first classrooms in Mechanical Arts to today's breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, robotics, and space systems. As we mark 150 years, the Roy G. Perry College of Engineering is raising $150,000 to invest in the students who will lead the next 150 years. Your gift today becomes someone's tomorrow.
College of Engineering — 150th Giving Campaign
We inherited an extraordinary legacy. Now we build forward.
Someone invested in Prairie View before we arrived. This is our opportunity to do the same for those who will follow.
Engineering has deep roots at Prairie View. From early instruction in Mechanical Arts to today's work in artificial intelligence, robotics, advanced manufacturing, energy, cybersecurity, transportation and space systems, each generation has expanded what is possible.
This anniversary is more than a celebration of our past. It is an investment in students, discovery, innovation and opportunity.
Built on achievement. Positioned for what comes next.

- Class versus class
Prairie View Engineering is part of my own story.
As an alumna and Dean of the Roy G. Perry College of Engineering, this 150th anniversary is deeply meaningful to me.
For generations, Prairie View engineers and computer scientists have entered the world prepared to solve problems, lead organizations, create technologies and serve their communities. We stand on a foundation built by people who believed that those who came after them deserved greater opportunity.
This anniversary gives our generation the same opportunity. I invite our Engineering alumni, friends, faculty, staff and partners to invest in the students who will carry Prairie View Engineering into its next era.
Give because you remember where you started. Give because someone helped you. Give because the next generation deserves the same opportunity to rise.
Dean, Roy G. Perry College of Engineering
