History
Engineering at Arizona State University has an enduring and remarkable record of accomplishment, albeit shorter than the history of ASU itself.
It started in 1954 when the Arizona Board of Regents authorized the establishment of the College of Applied Arts and Sciences. The new college was initially comprised of the divisions of Agriculture, Architecture, Engineering and Industrial Education.
In 1956 the first bachelor's degree program in engineering was approved. In 1958 the college's engineering division became the School of Engineering. Eight years later, it was renamed the College of Engineering Sciences, and a separate College of Architecture was established.
In 1970 a Division of Construction was added to the College of Engineering Sciences, and the name of the Division of Industrial Design & Technology was shortened to Division of Technology.
In 1976 the College of Engineering Sciences was renamed the College of Engineering and Applied Sciences. Twelve years later, the divisions of Construction, Technology and Agriculture were reorganized as the Schools of Construction & Technology, and Agribusiness & Environmental Resources.
In 1992 through a gift of the Del E. Webb Foundation, an endowment was set up to create the Del E. Webb School of Construction. A separate school was created for technology and, in 1996, the Schools of Technology and Agribusiness moved to ASU Polytechnic Campus.
In 2002 the Department of Bioengineering was renamed the Harrington Department of Bioengineering in honor of a $5 million gift from the Harrington Arthritis Research Center.
In 2003 Ira A. Fulton, founder and CEO of Fulton Homes, one of the largest builders of residential housing in the nation, established an endowment of $50 million. The College of Engineering and Applied Sciences was renamed the Ira A. Fulton School of Engineering in his honor.
