The College of Engineering is a faculty at the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada.

"The College of Engineering is located on Treaty 6 Territory and the Homeland of the Métis, and we pay our respect to the First Nations and Métis ancestors of this place and reaffirm our relationship with one another."

History

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

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. The first Bachelors of Engineering degrees in civil engineering were awarded on April 26, 1916 to only three students.

October 28, 1920 marked the opening of the new engineering building. 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

During the 30s, the tuition fees was raised. The College adopted the coat of arms, and new programs were incorporated (chemical engineering in 1931, and Geological and engineering physics in 1937).

The 1940s brought more changes, due to the value of engineering to war effort, the College became the largest on campus for the first time. The department of electrical engineering was created. At this time, the first female student graduated.

In 1952–53, petroleum engineering was introduced.
