Case School: The Evolving History

Academics, 1947-1967

A curriculum self-study initiated by President Glennan in 1948 resulted in two major structural shifts. The first one was the inclusion of more humanities and social sciences courses and the creation of the Division of Humanities and Social Science. The second change was the shift to cross-disciplinary approach to engineering education that resulted in the development of several interdisciplinary centers. These centers were:
In 1961 Case abolished all engineering departments and merged them into the Engineering Division. The previous departments were functioning as faculty groupings. This change did not affect Metallurgy (currently Materials Science and Engineering) since it was not considered an engineering department. 

The curriculum for the undergraduate programs was developed in collaboration 

In 1967, the Engineering Divion was renamed to School of Engineering and the faculty groupings were renamed as Divisions of the School of Engineering. 

Biomedical Engineering and Macromolecular Science departments grew out of the collaborations between the faculty groupings and the interdisciplinary centers.
