Historical note
Founding dean Llewellyn M.K. Boelter (1898-1966) organized the College of Engineering on the Los Angeles campus beginning
in 1944, and led the college until his retirement in the summer of 1965. The formation of the College grew out of the University's
wartime training program in engineering science and management. Dean Boelter adopted a new concept in engineering education
by establishing a single undergraduate curriculum, with an emphasis on the fundamentals common to all engineers.
In 1968 the College of Engineering was renamed the School of Engineering, and was later renamed again in 2000 as the Henry
Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, after a generous donation was given to the school by UCLA professor and
alumnus, Henry Samueli and his wife, Susan.
Scope and Content
Record Series 55 contains publications and reports generated by UCLA's School of Engineering and Applied Science. Files include
departmental reports regarding the School of Engineering and Applied Science, reports and theses regarding engineering and
applied science subjects, announcements, programs, and newsletters.
This is an active record series; additional University records are expected to be added.
