Historical note
Courses in Mechanic Arts were first offered in 1869 at Iowa State College (University). In 1871, the college divided the curriculum in Mechanic Arts into Civil Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. Dean Anson Marston organized the engineering curriculum into a separate division of the college in 1904. The Division of Engineering was renamed the College of Engineering in 1959 to coincide with the renaming of Iowa State College to Iowa State University. As of 2005, the College of Engineering at Iowa State University trains students in several engineering disciplines: aerospace engineering, chemical engineering, civil, construction, and environmental engineering, electrical and computer engineering, industrial and manufacturing systems engineering, materials science and engineering, and mechanical engineering. The College of Engineering and the College of Agriculture also jointly administer the Department of Agricultural and Biosystems Engineering. The Iowa State University College of Engineering first started recognizing outstanding alumni with the Anson Marston Medal in 1938. Since then, several other awards have been established to recognize College of Engineering alumni, faculty, and staff for superior professional, academic, and service achievements. The awards are presented during several events throughout the year including the ISU Alumni Association Honors and Awards Ceremony, the College of Engineering Fall Convocation, and the Marston Club Banquet. |
