The Citadel
School of Engineering
Message from The
Dean of Engineering
Welcome to the School of Engineering at The Citadel website. I a
m
proud of our two nationally recognized programs of study in civil
engineering and electrical engineering that make up the School of
Engineering. I believe that what makes our programs standout is the
highly qualified faculty in both departments that are committed to
teaching excellence. These programs lead to a fully accredited
Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering degree or Bachelor of Science
in Electrical Engineering degree.
Engineers play a significant role in today’s society both
nationally and internationally. They play a major role in
improving the quality of our day-to-day lives. Whether it is the
power to our homes, operating our computers, using cell phones, bridging
communities, driving down a modern highway, or ensuring that disease is
kept in check by the removal of all our waste, engineers have had a
significant impact on our day to day lives. In addition, engineers
create wealth through the products that they design. All one has
to do is to look at the housing, automobile, computer, and
transportations industries to see the large impact engineers have had on
our economy.
Engineering has had proud record of contributions at The Citadel
since the Citadel inception in 1842. The Civil and Environmental
Engineering Department was established in 1912 and became fully
accredited by what is now the Accreditation Board for Engineering and
Technology (ABET) in 1936. Its student chapter of the American
Society of Civil Engineering (ASCE) was established in 1937. The
Electrical and Computer Engineering Department was established in 1941
and became fully accredited by ABET in 1976. Its student
chapter of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
was established in 1962.
The School of Engineering was established on 1 January 2003.
The major objectives of the School is to:
- Provide a community around which alumni and professionals
can gather to discuss issues relative to the profession of
engineering;
- Provide a voice for engineers and the profession to bring
influence for the promotion of higher standards of learning and
graduate preparation
- Provide a center for professional development at both the
post-graduate and undergraduate level.
If you are an alumnus of the Citadel, I would invite you to
peruse this website as well as the two departments (Civil and
Environmental Engineering Department or Electrical and Computer
Engineering Department) sites to see what is going on in the School of
Engineering. If you are high school student that is possibly
interested in attending The Citadel, I would invite you to
contact me, go to
the department’s website (for links see above) and/or visit the
Admission's Department
