Engineering Theses: Departments and Call Numbers

Every thesis produced by graduates from the College of Engineering is cataloged separately and can be searched accordingly using the Online Catalog. Prior to 1983, each thesis was shelved by a call number assigned by subject. After that date theses were assigned a departmental call number and are shelved together by the year the thesis was granted. The following is a list of the engineering departments and the call numbers where their theses can be found.

Theses granted from 1985 to 1999 were assigned Ta as part of the departmental call number. Theses granted from 2000 to present are assigned Tb as part of the departmental call number.
