德克萨斯州农工大学

#1Intro

成立时名为德州农业与机械学院(The Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas),为全球顶尖工程学府,更是德州第一所高等教育学府。创立初期,为一所全男性的军校,1963年改制为德州农工大学,1965年废除军校必修制,并开始召收女生,但仍为美国六所高级军事院校之一。如今在全校近六万名学生中,约男女各半,其军校传统的学员团,约占学生总人数十分之一。
德州A&M大学拥有极高之学术成就,在美国与国际间皆享有盛名,一直以来皆名列各大权威学术评鉴机构所列之世界百大名校之一。该校其中一个闻名于世是其顶尖的科学克隆技术,人类史上的第一只克隆猫、克隆狗都是该校的研究成果。

学校的主色是暗红色和奶油色,打气歌为《Aggie War Hymn》德州A&M大学的体育队伍名为Aggie,传统上跟德州大学奥斯汀分校为世仇对立.

校名中的A与M源自于创校时的旧名,“A”原本代表农业(agricultural),“M”原本代表机械工程(mechanical),来自大学前身的名称。随着该校正式成为大学,“A&M”一词已不再代表缩写,而是正式的校名。起因于该校成立之时,正蒙美国政府致力发展经济,在全国各地成立了专研农业与机械的学校,因此现今全美国皆有农工大学,而以这所"德州农工"为其鼻祖。该校学生统称为“Aggies”,此字为“agriculture”一字演化而来,并不是一个正式的字.

该校因历史悠久,知名校友无数,其中不乏主宰德州,甚至全美国政经商各领域的重要人士。德州向有谚语曰“农工大学校友,在德州境内可如子弹般飞射横行”。前美国国防部长罗伯特·盖茨,即为该校上一任校长。

在美国文化中,非常重要的体育一环,亦不乏该校校友。为美国职棒明尼苏达双城队及纽约洋基队,二度夺得世界大赛冠军的二垒手Chuck Knoblauch;美式足球休士顿德州人队总教练Gary Kubiak;及奥运金牌得主,男子铅球世界纪录保持者Randy Barnes等人皆是。

在中华民国,前经济部长王志刚,前中华民国立法委员廖大林,及知名体育主播、前台北市议员常中天,亦为校友。

玻利维亚前总统豪尔赫·基罗加1981年在德克萨斯农工大学获工业工程学士学位。

巴拿马总统马丁·托里霍斯早年曾在德克萨斯农工大学攻读政治经济学。
