| The College of Engineering is celebrating 50
years of existence. The college has come a long way since its transition from idea to Texas’ fourth-largest engineering college. Now, the university is hanging its hopes on faculty and students to launch it toward national recognition for research. The school began in 1959, a time when computers weren’t around and a worry of the day was America’s defense after the Korean War. Fifty years ago, the then new school would be celebrating the beginning of its second semester. The need for engineers is just as great as it was 50 years ago, said Jack Woolf, former Arlington State College president. Former faculty, students, administrators and those who hold their positions now, reflect on the college’s growth, current status and future in a world where technology is constantly upgrading. Read more about the college’s ride into its fifth decade later this week in The Shorthorn. Views: 139 | E-mail
