The ideas of mutual integration of the liberal arts and engineering resonate powerfully with our institutional values and with many ongoing practices at Lafayette College, an undergraduate-only liberal arts college whose 35+ major options include 4 ABET-accredited BS engineering disciplines and 1 non-accredited AB in Engineering Studies. In addition to many course-level integration efforts, the College's program in Engineering Studies offers a model and a history that may be of interest to those designing new programs. © 2015 Taylor & Francis.
