ARMA is a professional and international engineering and scientific society that promotes interaction among rock mechanics and geomechanics specialists, practitioners and academics alike. A strong student membership ensures future continuity. ARMA advocates for firms and individuals in all aspects of rock mechanics, rock engineering, and geomechanics. ARMA provides a communications link, a forum, and an information resource for members, related organizations, and the public.
We are the American Rock Mechanics Association (ARMA) Student Chapter at The University of Texas at Austin. Our goal is to facilitate interdisciplinary collaboration, foster scientific research, advance the science of geomechanics/rock mechanics, develop leadership experience and group interaction skills, educate students on career opportunities, and promote the nation chapter and educate students on their benefits.
We are currently represented by 2 schools:
Cockrell School of Engineering
Jackson School of Geosciences
ARMA-UT represent 5 departments:
Hildebrand Department of Petroleum & Geosystems Engineering
Department of Civil, Architectural, & Environmental Engineering
Department of Geological Sciences
Bureau of Economic Geology
Institute for Geophysics.
Our membership is free and open to ALL students (graduate and undergraduate), faculty, and staff at UT. Throughout the semester, we organize speakers, meetings, and social events with FREE food and drinks! Click here to learn about upcoming events.
