History[edit]
The "School of Engineering" officially started about five years after the University of Saskatchewan being established. [1] In 1912, the University administrations decided to gather closely related courses under one title. [2]
Early days[edit]
In 1912, the "School of Engineering" was founded. In that time, only Civil Engineering courses were offered to six students by Professor C.J. Mackenzie. [2] The first Bachelors of Engineering degrees in Civil Engineering were awarded on April 26th, 1916 to only three students. [2]
October 28, 1920 marked the opening of the new engineering building. [2] In 1925, a big fire destroyed the building. A new construction was built at the same place and it was opened in 1926.
The Great Depression and WWII[edit]
During the 30's, the tuition fees was raised. [2] The College adopted the Coat of Arms, and new programs were incorporated (Chemical Engineering in 1931, and Geological and Engineering Physics in 1937). [2]
The 40's brought more changes, due to the value of engineering to war effort, the College became the largest on campus for the first time. [2] The department was Electrical Engineering was created. At this time, the first female student graduated.
In 1952-53, Petroleum Engineering was introduced.
