Today, building on those improvements, the College is examining changes to further enhance its dynamic and flexible curriculum. Engineering and the Liberal Arts Engineering education, without the underlying contextual basis provided by thoughtful study of the liberal arts, may become the mere assemblage of seemingly random scientific and technological information, leaving the graduate technically sophisticated but socially and culturally unaware. Union recognizes that it is neither necessary nor possible to include in the basic engineering curriculum all the technology that a graduate might conceivably need in a professional career. Undergraduate Programs in Engineering and Computer Science Union College offers majors leading to BS degrees in Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. While engineering draws heavily upon mathematics and science, it is more than simply applied science.
Engineering is a social enterprise that uses design to solve problems.
