Engineering at The Citadel

“The first six men graduated on November 20, 1846. Ranging in age from eighteen to twenty-one at the time, they chose professions as follows: Two became civil engineers, two, educators, one, a physician and one, a lawyer.”

From an historical sketch, “The Citadel and Engineering”, by Dr. James F. Scoggins, Jr.

The leading object of the School “is to prepare its graduates for the business of life. Its aim will be mainly scientific.”

From the Superintendent’s Official Circular, August 12, 1886

Before 1900, the scientific content accounted for 3,220 hours of instruction, excluding military subjects. This was considerably more than the science content of curricula at Vanderbilt, Tennessee or Alabama. On this basis the State authorized The Citadel to grant the Bachelor of Science degree as of February 1, 1900.

An Auspicious Beginning The Beginning: Growing the South's Economy

Dr. W. Gill Wylie, James Buchanan Duke and William States Lee founded Catawba Power Company in the early 1900s because they felt the South's heavy dependence on agriculture was prohibiting growth of other industries – and so they envisioned an integrated electric system of hydro-powered generating stations. [from Duke Energy website]

William States Lee

C.E. The Citadel, 1894

President of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, 1930-1931

IEEE formed by merger of the AIEE and IRE on January 1, 1963.

Thus is could be said that this Citadel Electrical Engineer made huge contributions nearly 50 years before the department was formed, and the first degree awarded.

General Order No. 7, September 26,1941

What a Start! “In 1941, the Board of Visitors directed Colonel N. F. Smith, Head of the Department of Physics, to organize and conduct a Department of Electrical Engineering at The Citadel. This department was authorized to provide for the considerable number of young men who wished to attend The Citadel, but who were then compelled to go elsewhere to obtain instruction in Electrical Engineering.

Under the direction of Colonel Smith, I was assigned to the organization and operation of this new department. In June 1943, forty five students who were ready to enter the junior class in Electrical Engineering were withdrawn to service in the Armed Forces, along with the upper-classmen in all other departments. At the same time, Colonel Smith retired from service to The Citadel and I was appointed to the direction of both departments.

Excerpt from letter, COL C. T. Razor to GEN C. P. Summerall, June 5, 1953

“Upon the cessation of hostilities…” “Upon the cessation of hostilities, instruction in Electrical Engineering finally began, and the first class of eight men was graduated in September, 1948.” Excerpt from letter, COL C. T. Razor to GEN C. P. Summerall, June 5, 1953

AIEE American Institute of Electrical Engineers

“In February, 1947, eight students and four faculty members of the Department of Electrical Engineering formed an organization known as the Citadel Electrical Engineering Society to advance the professional interests of electrical engineering on campus and to work toward obtaining a charter for a Student Branch of the AIEE at The Citadel.”

• Enthusiastically supported by the Charleston Subsection of the AIEE, of which Col. Razor was the 1947 president.

• Grew to 80 members (upper classes only)

• Formally petitioned the AIEE in May 1949

• The Citadel Student Branch of the AIEE was authorized in October 1949.

• Formal Installation held at The Fort Sumter Hotel on December 5, 1949.

Enrollment climb and EE exits the decade with 58 graduates

Largest EE graduating class on record.

Electrical Engineering Changes Fast General Mark W. Clark orders a “review of Programs and Curriculum,

Electrical Engineering Department of the Citadel”

To make it “and activity that will live up to the high standards of the electrical engineering world.”

October 25 – 26, 1957

Mr. L. R. Cook, AVP Engineering, Western Electric

Dr. B. J. Dasher, Director, School of EE, Georgia Institute of Technology

Dr. Irving Wolff, VP of Research, RCA Laboratories

“The electrical engineer being trained today will have to concern himself with such diverse subjects as thermonuclear power, giant aggregations of electronic equipment consisting mostly of various types of electronically active materials (some of which require operation at liquid helium temperature), design of apparatus with reliability well beyond today’s accomplishments, and many other projects not yet conceived.”

Recommendations “The staff problem is really critical”

Hire three additional faculty Hire a technician Supply some secretarial support

“The Electrical Engineering Department is operating on a minimum facilities basis.” Continue the current yearly appropriation Obtain supplemental funds to address deficiencies

“Electrical Engineering curricula are in a state of change…toward more scientific treatment of engineering…greater emphasis on principles, less emphasis on devices…wider choice of electives”

Discontinue Engineering Drawing, Surveying, Heat Engines and Power Plant Engineering and Design

Add Electromagnetic Theory and Advanced Electronics Circuits

“It is generally recognized that the so-called humanistic social studies should not be omitted.”

ECPD/ABET

Faculty and Students

Accreditation The overarching goal since 1941.

The need for alignment with the Engineering Council on Professional Development (ECPD) was explicit at the outset. Letters between Dr. Newland Farnsworth Smith and colleagues at Michigan and MIT support intent.

WWII and COL Razor’s death delayed the effort as the bar for accreditation was being raised.

By the mid-1960’s it was apparent that faculty credentials were a limiting factor.

COL Herring began targeted recruitment of faculty.

Accreditation James Scoggins, PhD in Physics joined the department in 1963

Harold Askins, PhD in EE joined in 1974

After obtaining and compiling data on professional registration, advanced degrees and salaries from nearly 300 of the 600+ graduates surveyed, and completing a significant self study of the department’s faculty, staff, students, facilities and curriculum, COL Herring requests an ECPD visit

The Citadel EE Department received ECPD accreditation in fall 1976.

ECPD was renamed the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, now simply ABET, in 1980.

Initiated in 1998 to represent the combined legacies of several historic medals. It is awarded by The Franklin Institute, whose awards are among the oldest and most prestigious comprehensive science awards in the world. 20 Tau Beta Pi members have been named Benjamin Franklin laureates.

Two are members of SC Gamma

Tau Beta Pi Laureates

The Tau Beta Pi Laureate Program was formally established by the 1984 Convention after a three-year trial basis to recognize annually up to five Tau Beta Pi student members who outstandingly exemplify the "spirit of liberal culture in engineering colleges." Award categories include arts, athletics, diverse achievements, and service.

EE OC Michael Lacey was named TBP Laureate in 2014
