communities-in-need typically focus on creating,implementing, and optimizing innovative technologies that can be universally applied to thedeveloping world. Many of the technological design assumptions are based upon the provider’svalues and cultural experience, and often disregard the conditions and context of the recipientcommunity. This mindset is exacerbated by the characteristic isolation that engineeringeducation maintains with regard to non-technical disciplines such as anthropology, communityhealth, and social development.

LUC’s BS Engineering Scienceprogram began the following year in August, 2015.BackgroundIn his 1968 survey for ASEE, Liberal Learning for the Engineer, Sterling Olmsted counted 93engineering schools that had initiated programs in liberal studies in the last three years. By 1973,as a result of this report, almost 200 technical colleges experimented with curricula to address thesocial implications of technology. Two curricular approaches included “humanizing”engineering through interdisciplinary education and
