History

The curriculum for the electrical engineering program was created in 1882, and was the first such program in the country.³ It was initially taught by the physics faculty. In 1902, the Institute set up a separate Electrical Engineering department. The department was renamed to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 1975, to highlight the new addition of computer science to the program.⁴
