The Engineering Program has been a part of Tulane University since 1884, the first year that the university was organized under its present name and form of administration. During its long history of service to its students and to society at large, the goals and ideals of the School of Engineering have remained fundamentally unchanged.
Engineering is the science and the art of utilizing the forces and materials of nature.
The field to be occupied by this college is thus seen to be a very broad one, and it is hoped that it will be a potent factor in the development of the great resources of the South. The School of Engineering is dedicated to seeking the best new programs and the best new methods to equip its engineers for the future demands of the profession and society. And it is as committed to providing the best possible education to each individual student, graduate and undergraduate. The School of Engineering offers four-year programs leading to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering. These include the traditional programs in biomedical, chemical, civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering, which are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
