The Colleges and Schools 3. 205 THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING, AND THE ENGINEERING EXPERIMENT STATION 5 In the development of the University of Illinois, the College of Engineering was early recognized as one of the strong technical colleges of the country, and by the year 1904 its standing may be said to have been assured. During the past sixteen years there has been very significant progress made in the College of Engineering not only in the character of work done, in point of student attendance and in size of faculty, but more particularly through its contributions to engineering science. GENERAL COURSES In 1904-05 the College of Engineering was composed of the following departments: Architecture, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Municipal and Sanitary Engineering and Physics. Four year courses leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science were offered in Architecture, Architectural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Railway Mechanical Engineering and Municipal and Sanitary Engineering. The importance of transportation problems led to the establishment of a separate Department of Railway Engineering and the School of Railway Engineering and Administration on January 30, 1906. Prior to this time the course in Railway Mechanical Engineering was given by the Department of Mechanical Engineering. The activities of the School of Railway Engineering and Administration included a series of courses in Railway Engineering administered by the College of Engineering, and courses in Railway Traffic, Railway Accounting arid Railway Administration administered by the College of Commerce and Business Administration. Also it offered courses in Railway Civil Engineering, Railway Electrical Engineering, Railway Mechanical Engineering, Railway Traffic and Accounting and Railway Transportation.
