• Create an international focus to your degree by declaring the 全球工程.  A number of the globally- and regionally-foc使用d courses with在 minor also count towards humanities and social science requirements.
• 考虑获得 工程伦理 & 社会证书 to engage in contemporary issues regarding the promotion, 使用, and possible risks of 工程 and applied science.
• 考虑以下课程 赫布斯特工程项目，伦理学 & 社会，它提供H&SS classes that are designed specifically for 工程 students. 的 Herbst Program's small classes provide an excellent opportunity for you to interact closely with faculty and with fellow students, 为了提高你的 writing, critical thinking, and ethical reasoning skills.
