From electric ideas to a tragic fire, Mizzou Engineering surged ahead into the 20th Century.
E-Week
Engineers’ Week, the annual celebration of St. Patrick the engineer, is a significant marker of Mizzou Engineering’s 150-year history. Now celebrated at colleges across the country, the event originated in 1903 at the University of Missouri.
1906-1916
As the nation was progressing at the turn of the century — with both rural Americans and millions of immigrants flocking to sprawling urban areas seeking opportunities — so, too, was the College of Engineering.

Mizzou Engineering – like the rest of the country – was feeling the impact of world war in 1917.
1936-1945
Even in the Great Depression, Mizzou Engineering kept up with new technologies. Plus, another world war creates challenges and opportunities at the College.
