History

Until 1990, there was no independent college for the sciences. Before then, there had been three colleges: the

College of Engineering Engineering education is the activity of teaching knowledge and principles to the professional practice of engineering. It includes an initial education (bachelor's and/or master's degree), and any advanced education and specializations that ...
