AB  - We describe the impetus for and collaborative process used to develop a cross-disciplinary B.S. engineering program with a systems thinking core and focus areas in bioengineering, environment & energy, and robotics. [The institution] is an undergraduate only liberal arts college with long-standing accredited B.S. degrees in chemical, civil, mechanical, and electrical & computer engineering, as well as a A.B. degree program in engineering studies. An internal visioning review of engineering at the college in 2005-06, a college-wide strategic plan completed in 2007, and then an external review of the engineering division in 2011 all recommended that additional structures be developed to encourage cross-disciplinary areas of study within engineering and to better integrate engineering with the liberal arts environment of the college. However, other priorities, a reduction in total courses from 38 to 36, and a general lack of support from engineering faculty for new programs led to inaction on major curricular change until the past three years. A new administration and strategic growth plan adopted by the college in 2016 provided a renewed opportunity to consider how the engineering division might respond to some of the recommendations of the earlier reviews. In this paper we describe the new program and its lengthy process of development. Challenges of coexistence of the new program with our discipline-specific B.S. engineering departments and the A.B. engineering studies program are emphasized. As the program was just launched in Fall 2019, we do not present assessment data here, but rather briefly describe our approach to program assessment.
