Biographical Sketch
In 1925, during Tech’s first semester of registration, the
College of Engineering had 313 students enrolled in its two-member faculty
department. Three additional professors were quickly added to meet the needs of
the enrollees, and in 1927 the faculty ranks numbered ten. By the 1954-1955
academic year there were thirty-nine faculty members. The Textile Engineering
building was home to all Engineering classes in 1925 and was one of the few
buildings open on the first day of school. Additional buildings were added in
1928, 1950, and 1951. The first female Engineering graduate was Edna Nawanna
Houghton in 1930, who returned two years later to teach in the Architecture
department.
Scope and Content
This collection contains information and names of graduates from
approximately 1928 through approximately 1975. It also contains questionnaires
and reviews of the engineering curricula and faculty from the 1970’s to
the 1990’s. In addition, this collection has biographical sketches,
publicity photographs and a scrapbook. One point of interest might include
engineering articles between 1980 through the early 1990’s.
Organization
This collection is organized into the following areas: Series 1.
Subject Files, Articles and Graduate Lists (Boxes 1-2) and Series 2. Reports
and Surveys (Box 3).
