The Faculty of Engineering at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ont., is known for innovative educational programming, such as its five-year engineering and management program,〔("McMaster University > Engineering and Management" )〕 and for its research and engagement with industry〔("Siemens provides McMaster with $458M software grant for product design and development" )〕 and community. Established in 1958, its institutes, centres and laboratories have collaborated on numerous research projects with the public and private sectors. It has the distinction of being the first engineering program to have included problem-based learning into its teaching, importing it from the McMaster University Medical School where it was first developed.〔(Problem-Based Learning (PBL) )〕 The faculty offers a full range of undergraduate and graduate, including research intensive doctoral degree programs, across seven departments in various engineering disciplines, including (chemical engineering ), (civil engineering ), (computing and software ), (electrical and computer engineering ), (engineering physics ), (materials science and engineering ) and (mechanical engineering ). Graduate programs in biomedical engineering are offered through the (School of Biomedical Engineering ), and graduate engineering practice programs through the (Walter G. Booth School of Engineering Practice ). The joint (McMaster-Mohawk Bachelor of Technology program ) offers four-year bachelor-degree programs in engineering technology, including (process automation technology ), (biotechnology ) and (automotive and vehicle technology ), as well as degree-completion programs in (civil engineering infrastructure technology ), (computing and information technology ), (energy engineering technology ) and (manufacturing engineering technology ). ==History== In 1956, McMaster named its first Director of Engineering Studies – Dr. John W. Hodgins, a Chemical Engineering professor from the Royal Military College – to develop a full engineering program for the university. The program was approved by the McMaster University Senate on February 1958. The engineering building, now (John Hodgins Engineering Building) officially opened a few months later. The first class of 25 students graduated in 1961. Five departments were established in the first two years – Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Metallurgical Engineering—and, later, Engineering Physics joined them. The first engineering degrees from McMaster were Master of Engineering (M.Eng.) degrees, with the first ones awarded in 1959. The first doctoral degrees (Ph.D.) were awarded in 1965. The undergraduate programs grew in step, and by 1972, over 100 engineers received their (Bachelor of Engineering) B.Eng. degrees, with the annual total passing 200 by 1980, and in 2014 this number equalled 588. The year 1971 marked the start of the Engineering and Management program and later that decade, the Engineering and Society program began. In the early 1980s, the Electrical Engineering started its unique Computer Engineering program, and Mechanical Engineering began its program in Manufacturing Engineering. The Faculty of Engineering began joint faculty appointments, research associates and collaborative research activities with McMaster's Faculty of Health Sciences. Courses in Biomedical-Engineering were offered as electives in all engineering programs. In 1997, the Faculty of Engineering began a joint venture with the Department of Engineering Technology at Mohawk College and created the (Bachelor of Technology program ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「McMaster Faculty of Engineering」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
