In 1919, the engineering department became a separate school, known as the School of Engineering. By 1937, over 1,000 students had graduated with engineering degrees. By 1946 the school had six departments.{{Cn|date=June 2025}}
In 1961, the School of Engineering was renamed the School of Engineering Sciences. Five years later, in 1966, it merged with the Faculty of Philosophy to become part of the School of Arts and Sciences. In 1979, the engineering programs were reorganized into a separate academic division, named the G.W.C. Whiting School of Engineering in honor of George William Carlyle Whiting, co-founder of The Whiting-Turner Contracting Company.{{Cn|date=June 2025}}
