History
[edit | edit source]The Wayne State University College of Engineering had its unofficial beginning in 1920, when co-founder Ernest Drake began teaching the first engineering courses that were a part of the university's chemistry program. Professors Arthur R. Carr and Drake officially founded the college in 1933 and began with only four disciplines: chemical, electrical, mechanical and civil engineering. The classes and the offices were in the Old Main building and several old houses within the neighborhood. By 1937, the college grew to 632 full-time students, with 24 faculty members. To date the College of Engineering has expanded to comprise 135 full-time faculty and 3,493 undergraduate and graduate students.[3]
Academics
[edit | edit source]The college offers the bachelor of science, master of science, and doctorate of philosophy degrees in many engineering disciplines. It also offers graduate certificates and other non-degree programs.[4]
In fall 2020, the College of Engineering enrolled 3,368 students, including 2,408 full-time students and 960 part-time students.[5] This comprised 2,561 undergraduate students and 807 graduate students. In 2019-20, the college awarded 895 degrees and certificates.[6]
