History


The School of Engineering was established in 1926, when Stanford organized the previous independent academic departments into a school.[5]
The original departments in the school were:



  • Civil Engineering, one of the original university departments (1891), later to become Civil and Environmental Engineering

  • Electrical Engineering, established in 1892

  • Mechanical Engineering, one of the original university departments

  • Mining and Metallurgy, established in 1918 and eventually disbanded in 1945


Departments added afterwards:



  • Aeronautics and Astronautics, started as Aeronautical Engineering in 1958

  • Chemical Engineering in 1961 (split from Chemistry)

  • Computer Science in 1965 in the School of Humanities and Sciences, but moved to the School of Engineering in 1985

  • Materials Science and Engineering in 1961 (originally known as Materials Science)

  • Management Science and Engineering in the 1950s (originally Industrial Engineering)

  • Bioengineering in 2002

(November 2014) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) The Westermarck effect , or reverse sexual imprinting, is a hypothetical psychological effect through which people who live in close domestic proximity during the first few years of their lives become desensitized to sexual attraction. This phenomenon was first hypothesized by Finnish anthropologist Edvard Westermarck in his book The History of Human Marriage (1891) as one explanation for the incest taboo. Observations interpreted as evidence for the Westermarck effect have since been made in many places and cultures, including in the Israeli kibbutz system, and the Chinese Shim-pua marriage customs, as well as in biologically-related families. In the case of the Israeli kibbutzim (collective farms), children...
