History
The Department of Civil Engineering was part of the Faculty of Applied Science at the founding of UBC in 1915. The curriculum included the same subjects at McGill BC, including maths and science. However, when tuition fees were introduced, fees for Applied Science were higher than for other courses. Two of the earliest instructors in the department included W.H. Powell and Ernest G. Matheson.
