SOME DEPARTMENTAL HISTORY
Monash University enrolled its first students in 1961. The
first students in engineering completed their final year in 1964. The
Foundation Professor of Electrical Engineering (as the Department was
then known) was Douglas Lampard. He retired in 1990 and died in 1994.
One of his first PhD students and an academic colleague for many years,
Steve Redman, wrote about Doug's life in 1996. The article was published in the Historical Records of Australian Science, vol 11, no 2, 1996 and is reproduced here by permission of the Australian Academy of Science.
For those interested in the history of the Department it provides an interesting background.
