Less than one year removed from garnering approval by the University System of Georgia’s Board of Regents to offer degrees in civil, electrical and mechanical engineering at Georgia Southern University, school staff announced Friday a major shake-up to the college’s internal structure. President Brooks Keel and university staff announced in a morning press conference at the university’s Performing Arts Center the formation of the new Allen E. Paulson College of Engineering and Information Technology (CEIT).The new college will combine high-demand degree programs in engineering and computer sciences to better meet educational and training needs of the state and region, according to Keel. “This has been a change in the making for more than 30 years,” Keel said.
