South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã State University (originally known as the à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Agricultural College) was established in 1881 by an act of the à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã Territorial Legislature.  The first official academic year was 1884-85. Mechanical engineering was one of the five original programs of study offered at the institution. Upon the admission of the State of South à£à£Ö±²¥Ðã to the Union in 1889, the college became the state's Land Grant institution. The Mechanical Engineering program was first accredited in 1936.
