University of Mississippi School of Engineering


The University of Mississippi School of Engineering was officially established in 1900 as part of the University of Mississippi in the U.S. state of Mississippi. In 1854 the Board of Trustees established a department of engineering at the University of Mississippi to complement a strong program in the natural sciences. It is considered the oldest school of engineering in the state of Mississippi.
