Engineering by the Numbers
We’re always ready to dispel stereotypes about engineers, but the fact is that engineers do tend to like numbers, so here are some interesting statistics:
| 0 | Engineering degrees awarded in 1945; in the years following the United States’ entry into World War II, the Santa Clara campus was virtually empty of students | |
| 3 | Engineering degree programs available to students in 1912: civil, electrical, and mechanical engineering | |
| 5 |
Graduates of the Class of 1915 - all civil engineers |
|
| 10 | SCU engineering alumni and current or former faculty members inducted into the Silicon Valley Engineering Hall of Fame | |
| 14 | Countries of origin of engineering faculty in 2010 | |
| 30 |
Degree programs available to undergraduate and graduate students at SCU in 2011 |
|
| 43 | Years of service for engineering’s first dean, George L. Sullivan, who established the program in 1912 and saw it safely through WWI, the Great Depression, WWII, the Korean War, and a sea change in technology | |
| 75 | Graduates of the engineering Class of ’50; the largest class of engineers to graduate up to that time and a group that continues to reunite annually | |
| 850 | Certificates awarded to civilians for taking Engineering, Science, and Management War Training (ESMWT) courses through Santa Clara during WWII | |
| 6539 | Bachelor’s degrees awarded by the School of Engineering 1912-2010 | |
| 8236 | Graduate degrees awarded by the School of Engineering 1959-2010 | |
