The Carnegie Mellon University College of Engineering is the academic unit that manages engineering research and education at Carnegie Mellon. The College can trace its origins from Andrew Carnegie's founding of the Carnegie Technical Schools. Today, The College of Engineering has seven departments of study and is ranked 5th nationally.
By 1905, the massive buildings of the Carnegie Technical Schools were being constructed in a field east of the University of Pittsburgh. The first students of the School of Science and Technology began classes in unfinished buildings, still surrounded by new construction. The school initially offered two- and three-year programs to train the children of Pittsburgh's working class. After the merger between Carnegie Tech and the Mellon Institute of Industrial Research, the newly formed Carnegie Mellon University's College of Engineering and Science was divided into the Carnegie Institute of Technology (engineering) and the Mellon College of Science. Subsequently, the Carnegie Institute of Technology was re-branded as the College of Engineering.
The Carnegie Mellon College of Engineering has led the way in many engineering fields and trends. In 1971, with the help from the Heinz College, the College established one of the first departments in Engineering and Public Policy to educate engineers in social and policy issues while performing research in science and technology policy. In 1989, the College established the nation’s first institute devoted to information networking, the Information Networking Institute.
