AB  - Evolu&on  of  Engineering  and  Public  Policy  at  [Ins&tu&on  X]The  undergraduate  program  in  Engineering  and  Public  Policy  at  [Ins&tu&on  X]  is  a  unique  addi&onal  major  program  for  students  earning  a  BS  degree  in  a  tradi&onal  engineering  field.  Started  in  1969,  the  program  con&nues  today  with  the  aim  of  expanding  the  skill  set  of  tradi&onal  engineers  to  beKer  address  today’s  technological  issues  as  they  relate  to  society  and  policy.  This  paper  will  discuss  the  development  of  the  EPP  program  over  its  four  decades  including  a  recent  curriculum  change  to  include  more  analysis  skill  building.  We  will  discuss  how  the  program  operates  in  conjunc&on  with  the  tradi&onal  majors,  the  course  selec&ons  students   make,  and  the  benefits  our  alumni  receive  from  the  program.  We  will  give  an  overview  of  our  capstone  EPP  Projects  course,  a  truly  interdisciplinary  teamwork  situa&on  addressing  current  technology  issues,  that  captures  many  of  the  ABET  (a)  through  (k)  outcomes.  We  do  not  expect  other  ins&tu&ons  to  duplicate  our  program,  as  it  requires  a  culture  of  interdisciplinary  collabora&on  and  extensive  commitment  at  all  levels  of  the  university  for  success  and  longevity.  However,  we  want  to  share  the  elements  of  our  curriculum  and  courses  with  others  with  similar  endeavors  (cer&ficate  programs,  minors)  and  with  others  considering  crea&ng  broad  interdisciplinary  courses  across  majors.  Our  experience  can  guide  decisions  for  developing  these  programs  and  courses  and  help  deal  with  the  challenges  these  programs  and  courses  might  have.
