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. This change did not affect Metallurgy department (currently Materials Science and Engineering) since it was not considered an engineering department.

Biomedical Engineering, Macromolecular Science, and the Computing Science departments grew out of these merged divisions.


Departments, 1947-1961



Engineering Divisions, 1961-1967

With the establishment of the Engineering Division at CIT, a separation occurred in the curriculum and faculty.

There were four major field designations:

The faculty consisted of two major groups: These two groups included seven faculty groupings that were not explicitly stated but most probably were: The latter Bio and Medical Engineering and the Control, Computer, Systems and Information Science groupings were considered in developmental phases.
