Professor Richardson traces the development of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science from its early beginnings in the School of Mining, its separation from the Church, its continued operation through two world wars and the return of the war veterans, its survival through the depression years and periods of financial uncertainty to the enrolment explosion of the baby boomers. The book examines the contributions of the deans over the decades, it takes a look at student life, initiation rites, the science formal, sports, pranks and life in the boarding houses and residences. The Engineering Society, the birth of the Science '44 Coop, the arrival of the first women in the Faculty and the contributions of Queen's engineering alumni are discussed. Rich with anecdotes, Queen's Engineers presents the reader with a historical account of the development of the Faculty while retaining the humorous and nostalgic insights which characterize engineering traditions at Queen's.
