motivation for life-long learning.Introduction The growing disconnect between engineers and the general public has been a topic forrecent discussion and concern. On one side, we can work to educate the public aboutengineering, and on the other, we can educate our students to relate their studies to a greaterworld. A diverse student population is important in this context. Typical engineering curriculaplace heavy emphasis on science and engineering topics. A small dose of humanities and socialscience are also required, but there is little overlap of concepts. Similarly, humanities and finearts students have some science ‘core’ requirements to fulfill; these are particularly importantgiven the increasing role of technology in society, but again

In addition, with a substantial number of electives, the curriculum could serve as a basis for medical school application.III.
