the Addis Ababa Technical School. In 1954 the curriculum was extended to
a four year program consisting of two separate branches in Civil and
Industrial Engineering. At the beginning of 1959, a fifth year was added

Mechanical engineering. The College of Engineering was integrated with
the structure of Haile Selassie I University in 1962.
After running a Chemical Engineering Minor program for few years , the college launched its Chemical Engineering major program
in 1986.
The College housed its students in the AAU main campus at Sidist Kilo
till its own residential and dinning facilities located acrross the
street were completed in 1987.
