Fonds UAA Fonds 0052 - Faculty of Engineering fonds

Engineering has been offered at the University of Alberta since it opened in 1908, but it did not have its own department until 1913, when the Department of Applied Science was created in the Faculty of Arts and Science. The department was renamed the Faculty of Engineering in 1948. The faculty is comprised of the departments of Chemical and Materials Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, and Biomedical Engineering. The faculty administers undergraduate and graduate programs leading to BSc, MEng, MSc and PhD degrees in chemical, civil, computer, electrical, mechanical, metallurgical, mineral, and petroleum engineering, and engineering physics. In addition, it administers a cooperative program, which alternates coursework with periods of paid, discipline-related work experience with cooperating companies.
