Communication between the two programs has grown through the course creation, placement of students, and monitoring of student progression. This communication has expanded into providing connections within additional course and program topics, as well as cross-listing a handful of upper level courses. The cross- listed courses enable focused students to earn a dual major in Engineering and Mathematics. § The Mathematics and Engineering departments have created a team atmosphere amongst faculty, thus

by required coursework in both engineering and thetraditional liberal arts, this core course sequence in Engineering Studies gives students aninterdisciplinary mindset and identity as “sociotechnical engineers.”In this paper, we describe the development, evolution, and assessment of our core three-coursesequence in Engineering Studies. Degree programs like Lafayette’s AB in Engineering Studiesprovide a mechanism for achieving the interdisciplinary, sociotechnical goals articulated by theNAE [1] and others, and for broadening participation in engineering education [2-3, e.g.]. As inour previous paper on the history of this program [4], we will consider both the transferability ofour approach to other institutional contexts and its
