"King Coal" reigned supreme at that time in the Wyoming Valley and engineers were needed to improve mining methods and worker safety. The response from local citizens and civic organizations was overwhelming, and on November 7, 1916, the Penn State Department of Engineering Extension began offering evening classes for 150 students in what is now <a href="/wiki/James_M._Coughlin_High_School" title="James M. Coughlin High School">Coughlin High School</a>. The new Penn State Department of Engineering Extension offered courses in advanced mathematics, surveying, reinforced concrete and mechanics. </p><p>The campus began offering three-year certificates in mechanical, electrical, civil, and mining engineering by 1923; three-year courses in aeronautical and textile engineering and a two-year program in air conditioning were later added. </p><p>During <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a>, the renamed Pennsylvania State College Wilkes-Barre Technical School Center trained women and older men in the manufacture of war materials in order to replace younger men leaving to serve in the war. The non-credit, tuition-free, government sponsored college level courses trained workers already in war production to take over more highly skilled jobs. </p><p>Until this time the school offered only evening courses in mechanical subjects; in 1947 demand from returning veterans inspired the school to introduce four daytime courses (business administration, building construction, industrial electricity, and mechanical and production tool design). </p><p>In 1949, the Engineers' Council for Professional Development accredited the engineering courses offered by the school, and in 1953, the campus began offering its first 2-year program, an associate degree in engineering. In 1957, the associate degree in surveying technology was also approved. By 1971, the first two years of over 100 Penn State majors could be studied on the Wilkes-Barre campus, and in 1987, the campus offered its first baccalaureate degree: a B.S. in electrical engineering technology. </p><p>In 1968 the school moved from a variety of downtown Wilkes-Barre buildings to its current rural/suburban campus, a 54-acre estate in Lehman, PA, donated for that purpose by Richard and Helen Robinson and originally owned by John and Bertha Conyngham. The estate included Hayfield House, an impressive stone mansion designed by the architect <a href="/wiki/Francis_Augustus_Nelson" title="Francis Augustus Nelson">Francis Augustus Nelson</a>, and built in the early 1930s. (Pictures of the furnished mansion were taken by well-known architectural photographer <a href="/wiki/Samuel_H._Gottscho" class="mw-redirect" title="Samuel H. Gottscho">Samuel H. Gottscho</a> in 1934; these images are held in the Gottscho-Schleisner collection at the U.S. <a href="/wiki/Library_of_Congress" title="Library of Congress">Library of Congress</a>.) Hayfield House was converted into administrative offices and classrooms, and the 19-car stone garage was turned into the Student Commons. </p><p>The Penn State Wilkes-Barre <a href="/wiki/Northern_Tier_(Pennsylvania)" title="Northern Tier (Pennsylvania)">Northern Tier</a> Center, located in <a href="/wiki/Towanda,_Pennsylvania" title="Towanda, Pennsylvania">Towanda</a> in <a href="/wiki/Bradford_County,_Pennsylvania" title="Bradford County, Pennsylvania">Bradford County</a>, was established in 1986 under the direction of the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://wilkesbarre.psu.edu/ce">Penn State Wilkes-Barre Continuing Education</a> department.
