[Centennial Celebration]

MAY 1-2, 2009

a bit of history ...

Engineering at Rutgers dates back to 1864 with the establishment of the Rutgers Scientific School which, by action of the state legislature that same year, became the land-grant college of the state of New Jersey.

Brevet Major Josiah Holcomb Kellogg, an 1860 graduate of West Point, was the first professor of engineering. The initial program, primarily civil engineering, produced a graduating class of seven in 1868.

The first professor of electrical engineering was appointed in 1903, and in 1908 the Department of Mechanical Engineering was organized. In 1902 an act of the state legislature established a ceramic department which became part of the College of Engineering in 1945.
