The Faculty of Engineering at Dalhousie University is a faculty of Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

History

The Faculty of Engineering was officially founded on 1 April 1997 with the merger of the Technical University of Nova Scotia (TUNS) into Dalhousie University.{{Citation needed|date=December 2023}} Dalhousie University had previously established an engineering faculty in 1905, but it was expensive to maintain, and in 1906, it was merged into the TUNS, which was established by a consortium of provincial universities and other interested bodies.{{Cite DCB |last=Waite |first=P.B. |author-link=Peter Busby Waite |title=Forrest, John |url=https://www.biographi.ca/en/bio/forrest_john_14E.html |access-date=2023-12-22 |volume=14}}
