In 1838, which college began teaching CE?

University College London University of Oxford Cambridge University King's College London

Correct Answer:

King's College London

Explanation:

Civil engineering education began to appear in universities as cities expanded and infrastructure needs grew during the 19th century. In 1838, King's College London started teaching civil engineering, reflecting the era’s push to move practical, professional subjects into formal higher education. This aligns with the college’s early move to broaden beyond purely classical studies to meet industrial-era demands. The other colleges in that list did not inaugurate civil engineering instruction in that same year, which is why this college is the best match for the statement.
