History
After a long history of engineering education at the
University of Adelaide, dating back to 1878, the
School of Mechanical
Engineering was established separately in 1946.
Instrumental in this were sizeable donations from
BHP,
Adelaide Electric Supply Limited, GMH Limited and Sir Edward Holden,
and smaller donations from several others.
A Professor of Mechanical
Engineering (H. H. Davis) was appointed in 1946
and in 1948 two permanent lecturing staff were appointed.
Steady growth in research and teaching activities
since that time has led to an increase in the size
of the School to 13
academic staff, more than 30 postgraduate students
and more than 200 undergraduate students.
