Past, Present, and Future in Engineering at the University of Alberta

By Larissa Douglass

The 100th anniversary of the University of Alberta – and the 100th year of engineering education at the U of A, is a time of reflection on the Faculty’s past accomplishments, present contributions, and future goals.  Founded in 1908, the University of Alberta provided engineering education in its first year, and established the Faculty of Applied Sciences, the forerunner to the Faculty of Engineering, in 1913.  From the beginning, members of our Faculty have combined outstanding research with teaching, and community service.
