BUET was established in the late 19th century as a survey school for training surveyors. Dhaka Survey School was established at Nalgola, in Old Dhaka in 1876 to train surveyors for the then Government of Bengal of British India. Later, generous grants from Nawab Ahsanullah, a renowned Muslim patron of Education and member of the Nawab family of Dhaka enabled it to expand as a full fledged engineering school. Ahsanullah School of Engineering offered three-year diploma courses in Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Mechanical Engineering. In recognition of the generous financial contribution from the then Nawab of Dhaka, it was named after his father Khwaja Ahsanullah. It moved to its present premises in 1912. After the partition of India in 1947, it was upgraded to Ahsanullah Engineering College, as a Faculty of Engineering under the University of Dhaka, offering four-year bachelor's courses in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical, Chemical and Metallurgical Engineering. In 1962, it was renamed as East Pakistan University of Engineering and Technology (EPUET). A partnership with the Agricultural and Mechanical College of Texas (renamed Texas A&M University in 1963) was forged, and professors from A&M came to teach and to formulate the curriculum. During this period, EPUET offered courses in Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, and Chemical engineering, and Architecture. After the liberation war of 1971, Bangladesh became independent, and EPUET was renamed to Bangladesh University of Engineering and Technology (BUET). Several more departments to offer graduate and undergraduate courses in different subjects like:Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering,Industrial & Production Engineering,Petroleum & Mineral Resources Engineering ,Computer Science & Engineering were included in the university at different times. In 2007,BUET celebrated 60 years of engineering education in Bangladesh by arranging a series of programs and events. [1]
