3.  Southern University and A&M College had its beginning in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1880 when a
group of Black politicians, led by former U.S. Senator P.B.S. Pinchback of New Orleans; a distinguished
legislator, T.T. Allain of Iberville; and Henry Demas of St. John Parish petitioned the State
Constitutional Convention to establish a school of higher learning for “colored” people. As a result of
this petition, Southern University came into existence on April 10, 1880, by the passage of ACT 87 of
the Louisiana General Assembly. This was the date on which funds were appropriated by the State of
Louisiana for the establishment of an institution of higher learning for African Americans.
 Act 87 provided for the establishment of a university for the education of persons of color. The Act
further provided that the Board of Trustees should “establish a faculty of arts and letters, which shall
be competent to instruct in every branch of liberal education; and, under rules of and in concurrence
with the Board of Trustees, to graduate students and grant degrees pertaining to arts and letters on
persons competent and deserving the same.” Under the provisions of Act 87 of the 1880 Louisiana
General Assembly, Southern University first opened on March 7, 1881, in New Orleans, Louisiana, on
Calliope Street. It remained there until 1883, when it was reorganized. It was later moved into a brick
structure on Magazine and Soniat Street Square.
 During this time, the University offered academic studies beginning with the primary grades and
extending through high school, with some college-level work being offered. It also offered training in
the job-oriented disciplines of agriculture, home economics, printing, carpentry, and tinsmithing.
The academic program was classical in nature, offering such liberal art subjects such as
English, Latin, Greek, French, Algebra, Geometry, Chemistry, Physics, and Music. The
curriculum was divided into six departments: College, Normal, High
School, Agriculture, Industrial Education, and Music.

6. Computer
Engineering
Computer engineering is a discipline that integrates several fields of
electrical engineering and computer science required to develop computer
systems. Computer engineers usually have training in electronic engineering
(or electrical engineering), software design , and hardware-software
integration instead of only software engineering or electronic engineering.
Computer engineers are involved in many hardware and software aspects
of computing, from the design of individual microprocessors, personal
computers , and supercomputers, to circuit design. This field of engineering
not only focuses on how computer systems themselves work, but also how
they integrate into the larger picture.
