Civil Engineering Education History (1741 to 1893): An Expanded Civil Engineering History Module
In 1741, the Royal Military Academy was established at Woolwich, England for officer training for artillery and public works. Louis XV appointed Louis Perronet as chief engineer of bridges and roads in France, and he established a three- year program at the Ecole des Ponts et Chaussees, the first formal school of civil engineering. In 1802, the U.S. Congress established the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, NY, with a four year program on bridges, roads, canals and fortifications developed in 1817 by Claude Crozet. In 1835, Rensselaer School/University awarded the first U.S. civil engineering degrees to four students. The history of other early civil engineering education development in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico is summarized in an expanded Civil Engineering History Module, ending with the 1893 Chicago World Columbian Exposition (and Congress on Engineering Education) by Ira O. Baker, University of Illinois civil engineering faculty member. The 1893 Education Congress presentations led to the founding of the American Society for Engineering Education.
