Engineering was first taught at UNL
in 1877. The course was civil engineer
ing, it was taught by an ROTC lieuten
ant, and was located in the only building
on campus, University Hall. Since then,
the College of Engineering has grown
to offer 15 different programs ranging
from agricultural engineering to manu
facturing engineering technology, on
campuses in Lincoln and Omaha.
In today's technologically-oriented
world, demand for high quality en
gineers is great and the UNL College of
Engineering supplies some of the best.
According to Stanley R. Liberty, dean of
engineering, of 290 engineering colleges
in the country the undergraduate pro
grams offered at the university are, "as
good as any in this region of the
country," and in terms of size of the
college, diversity of the programs offer
ed, dollars of research money generated,

is "clearly in the top third."
Freshmen applying to the college
must have a minimum ACT score of 23
and a high school background including
math through pre-calculus, one year of
chemistry, and one year of physics.
Students may remove these deficiencies
through university coursework, but
must maintain a GPA of 2.5 while doing
so. The college requires its students to
keep a minimum GPA of 2.4, with
students falling below that level being
suspended until their average reaches
the acceptable standard. The college
consists of approximately 2,600 under
graduate students and approximately
400 graduate students. One goal of the
college is to increase the proportion of
women and minority students majoring
in engineering, Liberty said.
Opportunities are very good for
graduates of programs in this college,
he said. Typically they are employed
nationwide, while a majority leaving
the state, Liberty said. Students are
leaving the college well prepared, he
said.
"I have had outstanding feedback
from companies that employ our stu
dents," Liberty said.
Liberty said he is proud of the
students and faculty of the college,
because their spirit, morale, and pro
ductivity are high, despite financial
pressures from budget cuts.
Home
Economics
By Trevor McArthur
Staff Reporter
Home Economics at UNL is more
than sewing, cooking, and changing
diapers. Those subjects are covered,
but it is also much more than that.
Students in the college can study in
child and family development, nutrition
and restaurant management, or fashion
design and marketing.
The College of Home Economics
dates back to 1898 when the School of
Domestic Science was created as a part
of the Industrial College. Since 1970 it
has been a separate college with central
facilities on East Campus of UNL and a
few programs at UNO. Today there are
about 1,000 students in the college,
making it the 12th largest home
economics college in the nation.
Students in the college can major in
four departments: Consumer Science
and Education, Human Nutrition and
Food Service, Human Development and
the Family, and Textiles, Clothing, and
Design. Twenty-one options are avail
able for undergraduate degrees and
four master's degrees can be obtained.
Research projects help students gain
experience in their field.
Budget cuts have had an effect on
the college, but so far the faculty has
been able to keep negative impacts at a
minimum. A few classes are being
offered less frequently, which has
caused problems with some students'
schedules, and vacancies left by retire
ing teachers are not being filled.
Karen Craig, dean of the College of
Home Economics, said the faculty have
been able to reduce their operating
expenses, which in the past were ex
tremely high. She also said that she
hopes the enrollment doesn't grow too
much. While she won't turn students
who want to enroll in the college away,
an increase in enrollment would over
load the faculty, she said. But for now,
even with the cuts, the faculty is
optimistic about the future of the home
economics college.
Journalism
By Adam T. Branting
Staff Reporter
The UNL College of Journalism has
not only been acclaimed as one of the
top ten "J" schools in the nation, but
claims an extraordinarily high number
of post graduation placement, said
Wilma Crumley, associate dean of
journalism.
The college was established in 1983,
after changing its name from the School
of Journalism. The school broke away
from the College of Arts and Sciences
in 1979.
The college boasts an enrollment
that Crumley said is the fastest growing
on campus. Last year's enrollment of
1,040 is supposed to increase this year
by nine percent, (93 students), she
said.
The college offers a bachelor's degree
