The Faculty of Engineering at Dalhousie University is a faculty of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

History

The Faculty of Engineering was officially founded on 1 April 1997 with the merger of the Technical University of Nova Scotia (TUNS) into Dalhousie University.[citation needed] Dalhousie University had previously established an engineering faculty in 1905, but it was expensive to maintain, and in 1906, it was merged into the TUNS, which was established by a consortium of provincial universities and other interested bodies.[1]

The Faculty of Engineering traces its history to the School of Engineering at TUNS and the Department of Engineering's 2-year diploma program of the Faculty of Science at Dalhousie University.

  • Civil and Resource Engineering
