The Citadel School of Engineering

Message from The Dean of Engineering

Welcome to the School of Engineering at The Citadel website. I aDean Fallonm 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:

  1. Provide a community around which alumni and professionals can gather to discuss issues relative to the profession of engineering;
  2. Provide a voice for engineers and the profession to bring influence for the promotion of higher standards of learning and graduate preparation
  3. 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 to get information and an application form.  You can reach me by direct mail at:
