School of Engineering James Matheny, Dean Karl E. Longley, Chairman, Civil and Surveying Engineering C. K. Liu, Chairman, Electrical Engineering Delbert E. Robison, Chairman, Mechanical and Industrial Engineering History, Engineering education first began at California State Uni"ersity, Fresno When Professor Herbert Wheaton was hired in 1922 to begin instruction in Civil Engineering. The engineering programs matured into Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering with the last of these programs gaining national accreditation in 1968. The Surveying Engineering program became the first accredited professional program in that field in the United States and was most recently followed by Industrial Engineering. The five degree programs offered by the school cover 85 to 90 percent of engineering practice. The Surveying Program, while percentage wise representing a very small porlion of professional practice is still a unique program. Accreditation. The civil, electrical, industrial, mechanical engineering, and surveying and photogrammetry programs are accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET). the nationally recognized accrediting agency of the engineering profession. I::ducalional Philosophy. It is the goal of the school's faculty to educate engineering students in such a manner that they may confidently enter professional practice or continue their education in any engineering graduate school or an equal basis with graduates from other engineering schools. Engineering may be defined as the application of service and technology for the benefit of society. The faculty require that engineering students have a knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry, the engineering science, and certainly of the humanities and social sciences. Departments and Programs There are three departments within the School of Engineering, and these offer a total of five undergraduate degree programs and three graduate degree options. A brief description of the departments and their degree programs follows. The Department 01 Civil and Surveying Engineering. Civil Engineering is one of the oldest pursuits known to civilized man. Civil engineers create the infrastructure that permits society to function. They conceive of, plan, design, and supervise construction of water supply systems, highways, railways, sewage systems, subdivisions, buildings, ship and aircraft structures, dams, bridges, tunnels, and assure that the water that we drink is safe and plentiful. Civil engineers are employed in agencies of local, state, and federal government, by construction firms, by ship and aircraft manufacturers, and in private consulting practice. 120 Surveying engineering is also a very oid profession. in addition to accurately measuring pieces of property using optical instruments, mechanical devices, radar, lasers, or heat radiating equipment, surveyors also use overlapping photographs of the earth to make accurate maps of the earth, i.e. photogrammetry. Surveyors layout highways, developments, buildings, and shopping centers, in addition to preparing maps and accurate legal descriptions of property. Surveying engineers are employed in governmental agencies, consulting firms, or act as consultants themselves. Notable surveyors were George Washington, Robert Burns, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Leonid Breshnev, and Henry David Thoreau. The Department 01 Electrical Engineering. Electrical Engineering came into being as a result of society's need to have eiectrical power generated, distributed, and utilized. Since then, electrical engineering has grown to be the largest and one of the broadest fields of engineering. Electrical engineers work in electrical power generation and distribution (and Caiifornia State University, Fresno has one of the few power programs available), communication and information systems; electronics; computer design, manufacture and applications; and control systems, Electrical engineers are employed in industry, governmental agencies, with a few in private practice. The Department 01 Mechanical and Industrial Engineering. The major areas in mechanical engineering are design, thermodynamics, heat transfer, and manufacturing, Mechanical designers create engines, machines, and processes associated with virtually all industry, and transportation. A designer in thermodynamics and heat transfer creates devices and processes to utilize heat to create power, whether the source of the heat is geothermal, solar, fossil fuel, or nuclear. Mechanical engineers who work in manufacturing create the machines, processes, and computer programs to manufacture goods. Mechanical engineers are employed by agencies of the state and federal government and all types of industries. Industrial engineers treat the use of money, materials, manhours, and machine time in the manufacture of economically successful products. The Industrial Engineering program at California State University, Fresno is closer to the mechanical engineering than the theoretical, operations research oriented programs found at some universities. Industrial engineers are employed in all types of industry. Optional Program. The School of Engineering also offers a program in cooperation with the Heaith Science Department. The program is designed to prepare its graduates for careers in occupational heaith and safety. Interested persons are referred to the section of this catalog entitled Health Science Department. Majors and Minors Students must declare an engineering major on their application for admission to the university in order to be allowed to take engineering courses. Because space has been over~subscribed in most engineering programs statewide, students should apply for an engineering major during November for the following Fall. The Schooi of Engineering does not offer any minors, High School Preparation. Recommended preparation for engineering or surveying engineering consists of: English (4 years), algebra (2 years), geometry (1 year), trigonometry
