ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT HEADS Engineering education at Drexel was first recognized as such in July, 1893, when a special circular announced a program of instruction in electrical engineering. In 1898 the first college-level instruction was offered, a three-year course in electrical engineering. ln 1906 a School of Engineering was established offering courses in electrical, mechanical and civil engineering. During the academic year 1914-1915, Drexel Institute of Tech- nology received authority to grant degrees. In 1918- 1919 the cooperative plan was initiated and in 1925- 1926 the five-year curricula in engineering were initiated. Chemical engineering was offered first in 1923, and a curriculum in metallurgical engineering was initiated in 1947. The College of Engineering, which became known by this name in 1945, has grown quantitatively as well. During the years 1915-1918, Drexel enrolled just over 100 engineering freshmen each ycarg in recent years freshmen enrollment has exceeded 500. Total enroll- ment in the College of Engineering is approximately 3000, of which more than one quarter are graduate students. The Faculty of the College of Engineering has grown in numbers to keep pace with the growth of the student body. The Faculty now numbers approximately 120 and forms a body of dedicated and highly competent teach- ers with keen interest in the professional development of the individual student. DEAN LEROY A.
