  • Abstract
    A small private liberal arts college with engineering, is experimenting with a new undergraduate paradigm for integrating the arts, humanities, and sciences with modern technology and engineering in a way that will enhance student´s technological literacy for the 21st century. Union College brings together faculty from engineering and the liberal arts so that students graduate with an understanding beyond that provided by a traditional disciplinary major.
