IC² Mission
Under current director S. Craig Watkins, IC² is moving ahead with new programs that build on the Institute’s history of community-building and ecosystem creation. The Institute’s new strategic initiative,
“Innovating Well-Being,”
will drive research and programs that advance equity in social, economic, environmental and health systems.
IC² Impact
We believe that prosperity goes far beyond traditional economic measures; that prosperity demands the equitable allocation of life-enhancing resources. Current systemic inequities—the digital divide, health disparities, the racial wealth gap, social and environmental isolation of rural and poor communities—are areas that require attention and innovation.

Our Legacy
The history of the Oden Institute is deeply intertwined with the history of the field of computational science and engineering. J. Tinsley Oden’s pioneering research in the finite element method and computational mechanics began in the 1960s, when the potential for computer modeling and simulation to change the practice of analysis and design in the engineering sciences was first being recognized. Oden’s recognition of the potential of computational engineering and sciences and his powerful joint vision with Peter O’Donnell, Jr. led to the creation of a series of world-leading institutes at UT Austin, and ultimately to what is today called the Oden Institute. Take a stroll down memory lane to see how it unfolded.
