Pennsylvania State University. College of Engineering

Penn State historian Michael Bezilla writes that "Engineering education was important in the context of land grant education from [Penn State's] ... earliest years." A class in engineering was part of the first curriculum of the Farmers' High School in 1859. From 1890 to 1910, it enrolled at least one half of Penn State's undergraduates. The percentage remained over one-fourth until the 1930s. The School of Engineering was established in 1895, with classes in civil, electrical, mechanical, and mining engineering. In 1955, when the Pennsylvania State College became the Pennsylvania State University, the School of Engineering became the College of Engineering and Architecture. In 1963, it became the College of Engineering.
