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.[2] The first Bachelors of Engineering degrees in civil engineering were awarded on April 26, 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

During the 30s, 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 1940s 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 of electrical engineering was created. At this time, the first female student graduated.

In 1952–53, petroleum engineering was introduced.
