History
McMaster Engineering has a long history of excellence in industry-driven research and student-focused education.

In 1956, McMaster named its first Director of Engineering Studies – Dr. John W. Hodgins, a Chemical Engineering professor from the Royal Military College – to develop a full engineering program for the university. The program was approved by the McMaster University Senate in February 1958. The engineering building, now John Hodgins Engineering Building, officially opened a few months later. The first class of 25 students graduated in 1961.
Five departments were established in the first two years – Chemical, Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, and Metallurgical Engineering—and, later, Engineering Physics joined them. The first engineering degrees from McMaster were Master of Engineering (MEng) degrees, with the first ones awarded in 1959. The first doctoral degrees (PhD) were awarded in 1965.
The undergraduate programs grew in step, and by 1972, over 100 engineers received their Bachelor of Engineering (BEng) degrees, with the annual total passing 200 by 1980, and in 2014 this number equalled 588. The year 1971 marked the start of the Engineering & Management program. In the early 1980s, Electrical Engineering started its unique Computer Engineering program, and Mechanical Engineering began its program in Manufacturing Engineering. In 1992 the Engineering & Society program began.
The Faculty of Engineering began joint faculty appointments, research associates and collaborative research activities with McMaster’s Faculty of Health Sciences. Courses in Biomedical-Engineering were offered as electives in all engineering programs.
In 1997, the Faculty of Engineering began a joint venture with the Department of Engineering Technology at Mohawk College and created the Bachelor of Technology program.
