1785 – Public university

social contract and charter responsibility “to teach, to serve and to inquire”

1860ʼs – Land‐grant university

“…to teach such branches of learning as they are related to

agriculture and the mechanic arts…to promote liberal

and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions in life.“

  • 1932 – Due to State’s financial exigency associated with

the Great Depression, all UGA BS degrees in engineering were moved to GA Tech except Agricultural Engineering. (Note: the three electrical engineering faculty chose to remain at UGA)

  • 1932‐1993 – BS in Agricultural Engineering was the only BS

engineering degree available at UGA

  • 1932‐1990 ‐ Single engineering academic unit –

Department of Agricultural Engineering

  • 1990 – Changed unit name to Department of

Biological and Agricultural Engineering

  • 1991 – PhD in Biological and Agricultural

Engineering

Population – ~3.9M (1960) to >10M (2010)

More than two and one‐half times in five decades

USG Enrollment – 180.4k (1990); 205.9k (2000); 301.9k (2010)

Increase of >96k or 47% increase between 2000‐2010

Economic dynamism – In the 1990’s; 8th in start‐up companies; 8th in venture capital investment Exemplar in university‐state‐industry partnership Bottom quartile – 40th in the nation in percent of engineers and scientists in workforce

State of Georgia

Georgia relies on in‐migration from other states and countries to fill nearly half of engineering jobs Almost one‐half of the graduates from Georgia’s high schools with SAT above 1200 and expressed preference for engineering career can not find seat in state. Continued increase in population and nearly 11% increase in need for engineers during 2006‐2016 are projected Engineering is a key linchpin for innovation and economic development

  • 2000 – UGA identified “Comprehensive Engineering at

UGA” as one of three University level strategic initiatives for the first decade of the 21st century

  • 2001 – The Institute of the Faculty of

Engineering was established

Curriculum Overview

The curriculum is a four-year, 130 credit hour degree program with courses in the basic sciences, the engineering sciences and design, and the social sciences and humanities.

  • A general education component that provides an understanding of the

basic sciences, social sciences, humanities, and the arts;

  • A mathematics component that provides quantitative skills needed to

measure, estimate, model and simulate

  • An engineering science component that provides skills needed to

synthesize scientific knowledge with engineering applications; and

  • An engineering design component that provides knowledge of the

systematic process for developing new and innovative systems and technologies that support societal needs through sustainable systems.

Curriculum Objectives

  • 1. Emphasize geotechnical, hydraulic, structural systems,

infrastructure and urban planning

  • 2. Supplement and complement other existing engineering programs at

UGA,

  • 3. Provide a well-rounded engineering education experience to students

by offering rigorous technical training balanced within a world-class liberal arts environment;

  • 4. Provide students the skills, knowledge and attitude to utilize

economically the forces of nature for the well-being of humanity while addressing global and environmental concerns, and material scarcity for an ever expanding population;

  • 5. Serve the needs of local, regional and national employers; and
  • 6. Provide students with an education that contains exposure to and

experience with actual problems and situations that practicing engineering professionals face in their careers.
