College of Engineering founded, 1898 The College of Engineering was formally established in 1898, though engineering courses and degrees had been offered as part of the Tufts College curriculum since 1865. The College of Engineering is an undergraduate professional school made up of departments of chemical engineering, civil and environmental engineering, electrical engineering and computer science, and mechanical engineering. The first engineering courses were introduced into the Tufts curriculum in the academic year 1865-66 with the advent of a three-year degree program in civil engineering. In the early years of the school, equipment and funds were in short supply with the result that student projects were often designed to accomplish the dual purpose of educating students as well as creating much-needed equipment for the school.. With the advent of the four-year program, the degrees granted were bachelor of civil or electrical engineering. The College of Engineering added graduate study to its curriculum beginning in the 1961-62 academic year, with masters degrees available in all four departments. Ph.D. programs were added in mechanical engineering in 1963, electrical engineering in 1964, engineering design in 1981, and civil engineering in 1985. |
