establish the David Guggenheim School of Aeronautics; established the first ROTC unit in the Southern United States; got accreditation for the Institute by SACS; attributed with providing the vision and securing the finances to move Georgia Tech away from its roots as a teaching-oriented trade school and towards a new focus on science and ...
The school was founded as the Georgia School of Technology as part of Reconstruction efforts to build an industrial economy in the Southern United States after the Civil War. Initially, it offered only a degree in mechanical engineering. By 1901, its curriculum had expanded to include electrical, civil, and chemical engineering.
The "industrial option" for mechanical engineering was first offered at then Georgia School of Technology in 1924. [1] The Department of Industrial Engineering was created in 1945 with Frank Groseclose as its first director and professor.
The School of Computer Science offers bachelor's degrees, master's degrees, and doctoral degrees in several fields. [6] These degrees are technically granted by the School's parent organization, the Georgia Tech College of Computing, and often awarded in conjunction with other academic units within Georgia Tech.
