The victim was attacked on Friday evening as she was working in the Engineering South building.
Before she was taken to the hospital, she was able to describer her attacker and a campus-wide search was launched.
University officials said that about 45 minutes later, a man called police to say he was the attacker.
John Shaffer, 20, a sophomore computer science major, was arrested at a student-housing complex.
He remained in the Collin County Jail Sunday, accused of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
Bond was set at $15,000.
UTD spokeswoman Susan Rogers, a UTD spokeswoman, told The Dallas Morning News
