Engineering college name change nears final approval
To reflect its changing educational mission, UNL's engineering college has shortened its name to the College of Engineering. Previously, the college was known as the College of Engineering and Technology.
David Allen, dean of the college, said the college removed "technology" because UNL is following a national movement to eliminate technology development programs from engineering curricula. The college has discontinued its industrial systems technology major and is discontinuing the construction engineering technology program.
"That is not to say we will no longer be in the business of educating people involved in technology," Allen said. "We will be teaching people the intellectual property to develop new technologies. This is what we believe is the most significant product our college can develop in the state of Nebraska."
The name change is pending approval by the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education.
The measure was approved the University of Nebraska Board of Regents Nov. 11.
The college had been known as the College of Engineering and Technology since 1974 when UNL's College of Engineering and Architecture merged with the University of Nebraska at Omaha's College of Engineering and Technology. The architecture program became the College of Architecture.
