Engineering, Liberal Arts, and Technological Literacy in Higher Education

A small private liberal arts college with engineering, is experimenting with a new undergraduate paradigm for integrating the arts, humanities, and sciences with modern technology and engineering in a way that will enhance student's technological literacy for the 21st century. Union College brings together faculty from engineering and the liberal arts so that students graduate with an understanding beyond that provided by a traditional disciplinary major.

Converging Technologies

Since the introduction of engineering in 1845, Union College has been an innovation leader in preparing students to succeed in a continuously changing world. At Union College, the phrase “Converging Technologies” refers to new interdisciplinary areas that build on our strengths in both engineering and the liberal arts, and on our tradition of academic innovation.
