PACCAR Inc.
In 2006, UNT received a $1.5 million donation to benefit research and teaching in the College of Engineering. About $1 million of the gift created permanent endowments to establish the PACCAR Technology Institute at the UNT Discovery Park and allow us to further our multidisciplinary research at the institute, where UNT furnishes state-of-the-art laboratories and classrooms. The remainder of the donation enabled UNT to endow the PACCAR Professorship for a full-time, tenured engineering professor. These amazing strides would not be possible without the generous gift from PACCAR Inc., a multinational transportation and technology company based in Bellevue, Wash., and the parent company of Denton-based Peterbilt Motors Company. We are excited about this collaboration with a company that has a significant impact on the development of transportation solutions and technologies.
