The Voiland College of Engineering and Architecture was established in 1917 as the College of Mechanical Arts and Engineering upon the reorganization of the State College of Washington, [1] but its roots trace back to the original establishment of Washington State University in 1890 that included a mechanical engineering program. [2] The college was renamed in 2014 in recognition of Gene Voiland, a 1969 alumnus of the college, and his wife Linda's ongoing contributions to the college and industries.
