Biographical / historical:

Engineering courses have been available since the inception of the university in 1872 when a student could follow the "Mechanical" course of study (the same as a department today), which included mechanical drawing, mechanical engineering, machinery, and steam engines. When the first administrative instructional divisions were established in 1903, engineering was one of four academic departments for which a dean was appointed. In 1920, the department became the School of Engineering and then, in 1964, the College of Engineering.
