The technical school training is becoming broader in scope with the realization that there are certain studies that are basic to all classifications of engineering. Class and laboratory exercises are planned to give the basis on which the graduating engineer can build whatever specialty he may enter.
Complete courses of study are offered in eleven major branches of engineering and one in architecture.
In 65 Years of Growth School Ranks 9th in U.S.
The aim of the school is to give a thorough fundamental training in the mathematical and physical sciences supplemented by specialized study pertaining to the various available branches of engineering and architecture.
Since it was established in 1891, the School of Engineering has undergone many and varied changes and improvements. The modern, up-to-date school of today is a far cry from the Department of Engineering which in 1870 offered courses only in civil and electrical engineering.
