History
The Clark School was founded in 1894 as The College of Engineering at what was then known as the Maryland Agricultural College. In 1949, the school was renamed the Glenn L. Martin College of Engineering and Aeronautical Sciences. The name was changed for a second time in 1955 to the Glenn L. Martin Institute of Technology. In 1994, the college took its current name, the A. James Clark School of Engineering.[2] A. James Clark was a 1950 engineering graduate of the university who was chairman and chief executive officer of Clark Enterprises, Inc. Clark's financial gifts to the university were honored, in return, with the name of the Engineering School.
Early history
Although no formal engineering program existed at the Maryland Agricultural College, the early curriculum included surveying, construction, mechanics, and electricity courses.[3] During the early years of the University, much of the coursework centered around preparing students for a career in agriculture.
A formal program in engineering was introduced in 1894 when the president of the University, Richard W. Silvester, requested that the secretary of the Navy detail Lieutenant John D. Ford of the U.S. Navy Engineering Corps to organize the Department of Mechanical Engineering.[4] The first faculty member appointed to teach in the department was Harry Gwinner, and John Hanson Mitchell was the first student awarded a B.S. in mechanical engineering in 1898. The Department of Mechanical Engineering was housed in what is now Taliaferro Hall.
In 1908, the college created the Department of Civil Engineering, followed closely by the creation of the Department of Electrical Engineering. In 1915, the three departments were organized into the Engineering Division. Dr. T.H. Taliaferro was appointed dean of the Engineering Division upon its creation.
1915-1944
In 1917, the University reorganized, creating the College of Engineering and Mechanic Arts. In 1921, the college changed its name to the College of Engineering and appointed Arthur N. Johnson as dean. In 1926, the college developed its first master's program in the electrical engineering department. The remaining departments established master's programs shortly after that. In 1936, the College of Engineering appointed S. Sidney Steinberg as dean. The first Ph.D. was granted in 1939 by the Department of Chemical Engineering.
In 1932, Evelyn B. Harrison became the first woman to graduate from the College of Engineering. She graduated with a B.S. in Civil Engineering.[5]
When the United States joined World War II in 1941, the College of Engineering faced many changes. The College of Engineering instituted several specialized training programs to aid the war effort. In 1943, the college created an Army Specialized Training Program to provide students with language and advanced engineering skills. The college also instituted a Civil Aeronautics Pilot Training Program, training students to be pilots for the Military Air Transport Service. The College of Engineering also shortened the duration of its academic programs to accelerate training for technical branches of the Army. Enrollment dropped significantly during World War II but accelerated quickly following the war as students returned to the University of Maryland on the G.I. Bill. During the war, the College of Engineering moved from its original home in Taliaferro Hall to what is now H.J. Patterson Hall.
1944-1975
In 1944, aeronautical entrepreneur Glenn L. Martin, president of the Glenn L. Martin Company, donated funds to the College of Engineering to construct new engineering buildings. Martin's gift to the college resulted in the construction of four new engineering buildings, including the Glenn L. Martin Wind Tunnel. Martin also donated funds designated for aeronautical research. Named for Martin's mother, the Minta Martin Fund for Aeronautical Research was created in 1954.
The college renamed itself the Glenn L. Martin College of Engineering and Aeronautical Sciences in 1949 to recognize Martin's gifts. Also, in 1949, the Department of Aerospace Engineering was established. The Department of Fire Protection Engineering was established in 1956. Following World War II, the College of Engineering developed into a strong research institution, with more emphasis placed on research by both students and faculty. Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, each department established a Ph.D. program, further strengthening the college's growing reputation as a research institution. In 1956, Frederick T. Mavis was appointed dean of the College of Engineering.
In 1965, Robert Beckman was appointed dean of the College of Engineering. The College of Engineering grew during the 1960s and 70s as the United States placed more emphasis on technology and development during the Cold War. Throughout the 1970s, the college devoted more attention to recruiting women and minority students to engineering, creating programs for local high school students, and hiring staff members to mentor women and minority students. In 1970, the college instituted a Cooperative Engineering Education Program to help students incorporate employment and career development into their field of academic study. In 1975, the college created the Instructional Television System (ITV) to provide graduate-level education to working engineers in the area through television.
1975-1995
In 1977, the college appointed George Dieter as dean. Student enrollment in the College of Engineering expanded throughout the 1970s and 1980s in response to the Very Large Scale Integration revolution. In 1981, the college implemented regulations to restrict undergraduate admission to the College of Engineering based on test scores and academic standing. At the same time, they also created the College Honors Program. Graduate programs in the College of Engineering experienced growth during this period. With the growth of graduate programs came growth in research funding and opportunities. During the 1980s and 1990s, the College of Engineering developed several research institutes and secured research funding from various scientific grants and foundations.
In 1990, the College of Engineering became a member of the Engineering Coalition of Schools for Excellence in Engineering and Leadership. The program's main goals were to integrate design into the undergraduate engineering curriculum. This led to the development of a hands-on first-year design course in the College of Engineering.
In the 1980s and 1990s, College of Engineering students became heavily involved in national design competitions. Some of the most prominent competitions during these years included Baja racing, solar car design, concrete canoe design and racing, and walking robot contests.
In 1994, as the college celebrated its 100th anniversary, alumnus A. James Clark created the A. James Clark Centennial Endowment Fund to support undergraduate engineering education.[6] In recognition of this gift, the Board of Regents renamed the college the A. James Clark School of Engineering.
In 1994, William W. Destler was appointed dean of the Clark School. This same year, the Clark School also established the Office of Advanced Engineering Education (OAEE). OAEE provides flexible engineering education options to working engineers so that they may earn a Master of Engineering or Graduate Certificate in Engineering.[7]
1995–present
In 1997, the college established the Department of Computer Engineering and combined it with the Department of Electrical Engineering to form the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in 1999. In 1999, Herbert Rabin was named Interim Dean of the Clark School. Also in 1999, the college renamed the Department of Civil Engineering as the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering to better reflect changes in the field.
Nariman Farvardin was appointed dean of the Clark School in 2000. In 2002, the college split the Department of Materials and Nuclear Engineering, establishing the Department of Materials Science and Engineering. The college transferred the Nuclear and Reliability Engineering programs to the Department of Mechanical Engineering. In 2004, the Department of Chemical Engineering changed its name to the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering.
In 2005, Robert E. Fischell donated to the Clark School to create the Fischell Department of Bioengineering, officially established in 2006.[8] In 2007, Herbert Rabin once again became the Interim Dean. In 2009, Darryll Pines was appointed Dean of the Clark School of Engineering. Under his guidance, the Clark School continued to build a reputation in research, teaching, and student engagement.
