THE SCHOOL Francis L. Casfleman, Jr., D.Sc., Dean of fhe School of Engineering. OE ENGINEERING Since I88I engineering has been a parf of fhe Universify of Connecficuf. If was nof unfil l9I6, however, fhaf a formal course offering a Bachelor of Science degree was esfablished. The School now has separafe deparfmenfs of civil, elecfrical, and mechanical engineering, and offers fhe lv1asfer's degree in each of fhese fields. In fhe lasf fen years fhe engineering sfaff has been fripled, adding many oufsfanding men. This year a member of fhe engi- neering faculfy was awarded fhe Alfred Nobel Prize for his con- fribufion fo fhe field of elecfrical engineering. Two years ago a sfudenf received a nafional prize for his work in mechanical engineering. The Universify of Connecficuf School of Engineering has been inspecfed and approved by fhe Engineer's Council for Professional Developmenf, which is fhe only qualified rafing council for engi- neering schools, and has only mefed approval fo abouf one hun- dred engineering schools in fhe Unifed Sfafes. Af fhe Universify fhere are sfudenf branches of fhe American Sociefy of Civil Engineers, fhe American lnsfifufe of Elecfrical Engineers, and fhe American Sociefy of Mechanical Engineers. Also fhere are nafional honorary frafernifies: Chi Epsilon, Efa Kappa Nu, and Pi Tau Sigma in civil, elecfrical, and mechanical engineering, respecfively. Mosf imporfanf is fhe presence of a chapfer of Tau Befa Pi, which is fhe largesf honorary engineering frafernify in fhe world. This frafernify is comparable in engi- neering fo Phi Befa Kappa in Arfs and Sciences. Such honorary frafernifies are found only in accredifed schools. In fhe lasf few years fhe graduafe school has increased in size and scope. There has been more emphasis placed on research.
