Title |
Engineering Education and Research in Montreal: Social Constraints and Opportunities
|
Abstract |
While engineering education for French-speaking and English-speaking students in Montreal did not develop in the same way, the authors argue that the two educational institutions involved, the École Polytechnique and McGill University, share many common characteristics. The history of engineering at McGill University began with a series of lectures in 1855 by William Dawson, a renowned geologist and McGill's fifth principal, and was offered within the Faculty of Arts until the formation of the Department of Applied Sciences in 1871. Eventually, the lectures formed the core of a two-year curriculum leading to a Diploma in Civil Engineering.
