context_page_description: University of Saskatchewan has over 200 academic programs on its Saskatoon, Saskatchewan campus, and is internationally known for its teaching and research. The on-campus synchrotron Canadian Light Source makes it the only Canadian institution for such nuclear and biotechnology research. Canadian Light Source nuclear research facility provides research and analysis of the internal structures of advanced materials and biological samples. The College of Arts and Science is the largest of the U of S and comprises five separate health science fields in addition to numerous other programs in the Arts, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Natural Sciences. The Department of Computer Science as well as the College of Engineering are ranked highly within their fields. The founding college, the College of Agriculture, is still providing agricultural breakthroughs which are utilized worldwide.
context_section_description: The Engineering Building was first opened in 1912 for the Agricultural Engineering Department and the Department of Field Husbandry. The 1925 fire which destroyed this building made way for a new construction which opened in 1926. Mechanical Engineering laboratories were added in 1939. In 1961, the construction of the Evan A. Hardy Laboratory provided an area for the Department of Agricultural Engineering, the Agricultural Engineering Research and Development Section and the Divisions of Hydrology and Control Systems. 1986 saw the creation of the Computer Science Department within the Engineering department, which only lasted until 2000. 
  The Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering saw renovations for their studies in the 21st century.
  The college of Engineering U of S offers undergraduate, Masters, and Doctorate degrees in seven different departments: Agricultural & Bioresource, Chemical Engineering, Civil & Geological, Electrical & Computer, Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics & Engineering Physics. Engineering students can choose to specialize in the following disciplines: Chemical and biological engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, Environmental Engineering, Geological Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. The Transportation Research Centre was developed in the early 1970s to provide research and development for transportation systems, vehicle safety and road design and technologies.
