Santa Clara University
School of Engineering was founded and began offering bachelor degrees in 1912. Over the next century, as the Santa Clara Valley
transformed from a largely agricultural area to an industrial center, the school added master and doctoral programs designed to meet the area's growing need for expert engineers. Today, the Silicon Valley
provides a setting for the school's programs, particularly those in electrical engineering and information technology.
The Dean of the School of Engineering is Godfrey Mungal.
