History
In 1893, the Ontario government established the Kingston School of Mining, coinciding with the location of Queen's University, but existing legally as a separate institution. When Queen's became a secular institution in 1910, the School of Mining officially joined with the University and subsequently renamed itself the Faculty of Applied Science.
In early 2010, the Faculty of Applied Science was re-branded, after a vote throughout the faculty, as the Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science.
