History
The curriculum for the electrical engineering program was created in 1882, and was the first such program in the country.{{Cite web|title=The birth of electrical engineering|date=9 March 2011 |url=https://news.mit.edu/2011/timeline-eecs-0309|access-date=2021-10-18}} It was initially taught by the physics faculty. In 1902, the Institute set up a separate Electrical Engineering department. The department was renamed to Electrical Engineering and Computer Science in 1975, to highlight the new addition of computer science to the program.{{Cite web|title=Departmental History|url=https://www.eecs.mit.edu/about/departmental-history/|access-date=2021-10-18}}
