The Catholic University School of Engineering is one of the twelve schools at The Catholic University of America, located in Washington, D.C. (USA), and one of 41 higher education catholic institutions that offer Engineering Programs in the United States.[2]

All members of the full-time faculty hold doctoral degrees and are very active in funded research and scholarly publication.[3] It was reported to be the biggest Catholic graduate school of engineering in the nation.[4]

History

The School of Engineering at Catholic University was formally established in 1930, but the first engineering program at the university was started back in 1896.

The school was soon renamed as the School of Engineering and Architecture, but retook the original name in 1992 when a new School of Architecture and Planning separated from the school.

Prior to 1950, the primary focus of the school was on undergraduate professional programs. However, research activity and graduate professional offerings have increased at a steady rate since 1950.[5]
