The College of Engineering at the University of Illinois was first established in 1868, and is considered one of the original units of the school. The presence of a steam engine on the University's seal is a good clue as to the importance of the program to the University. The College of Engineering consistently ranks amongst the top five such programs in the nation, and is considered one of the most selective and elite engineering schools in the world.

Campus
 Grainger Engineering Library The College of Engineering is located at the northern terminus of the University of Illinois occupying the Bardeen Quadrangle, the Beckman Quadrangle and many nearby areas. Many students of the College of Engineering jokingly refer to the Main Quadrangle as the "South Quad" much to the consternation of Liberal Arts and Sciences students. Green Street almost perfectly divides the Engineering campus from the rest of the University, so engineers and the College of Engineering are often referred to as "North of Green."

History Established in 1951, the Coordinated Science Laboratory (or CSL) was originally a joint effort between the University and NASA. Originally designed to be a center for research in Control Systems, CSL has evolved to cover a much broader base of research goals. During the 70's and 80's additional support for the laboratory was provided by the Military who sought to establish an electronics facility at CSL to aid with the Cold War. Later as private sources of funding as well as state appropriated funding replaced much of the military funding the center came to focus on Information Technology and Telecommunications research, though it still maintains its roots. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

CSL currently is funded by many Federal, State, and Private programs. It receives the majority of its operating and research budget from DARPA, the NSF, NASA, and private corporations including AT&T, Cisco, Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Lucent, Microsoft, Motorola, Nokia, and Sun Microsystems.

Siebel Center for Computer Science
 Siebel Center for Computer Science at the University of Illinois Officially opened on April 29, 2004, the Siebel Center for Computer Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign began with the initial contribution of $32 million to the University by U of I alumnus and successful technology entrepreneur Thomas Siebel in 1999. The project's final cost came to roughly 80 million dollars, with more than half (48 million) having been paid for by the state of Illinois.

Digital Computer Laboratory
 Digital Computer Laboratory The Digital Computer Laboratory (DCL) was the original home of the UIUC Computer Science department. The two-story building was constructed in 1958 and was expanded in 1967. In 1989, another addition added a third floor and enclosed the old building on three sides. The Computer Science department offices moved to the Siebel Center upon its completion in 2004. Much of the now vacant office space in DCL will be used by Campus Information Technologies and Educational Services (CITES).
