註釋The results of several studies of the humanities and social sciences in undergraduate engineering education are presented and discussed. The first chapter explains the value of humanities and social sciences coursework and describes briefly some of the obstacles confronting efforts to improve it. The second chapter summarizes the findings of two empirical studies, one of engineering programs policies and one of engineering students' choice of humanities and social science courses. The third chapter briefly describes 13 programs, or parts of programs, that provide liberal education to engineering students in innovative ways. With special attention given to the "typical" engineering school, chapter four suggests criteria for improving humanities and social science coursework and steps to help create a climate and mechanisms to support that improvement. Contains 30 references. (MSE)
