Administrative history
Early courses in Mining Engineering at the University of Alberta were taught through the Department of Geology. The Department of Mining Engineering was founded in 1920, and the first BSc in the subject was granted in 1921. It was renamed the Department of Mining and Metallurgy in 1930. In 1973-1986, it amalgamated with the Petroleum division of Chemical Engineering as the Department of Mineral Engineering. In 1996, the department merged with the Department of Chemical Engineering to form the Department of Chemical and Materials Engineering.
As its fields of study are significant to the economy of Alberta, the department’s aim was to meet the province’s need for experts and applicable technology by maintaining undergraduate and graduate education, conducting research and exchanging technology and information with government and industry (PACCR, 1988).
Heads: 1914-1920 John Andrew Allan (Department of Geology); 1920- 1945 Norman Charles Pitcher; 1945-1954 Karl Adolph Clark; 1954- 1969 Ewald Oscar Lilge.
Chairs: 1969-1971 Ewald Oscar Lilge; 1971-1979 Franz H. Vitovec; 1979-1981 Donald Louis Flock; 1982- 1986 Loverne Rubin Plitt; 1986- Jerry M. Whiting.
