Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania has a strong liberal arts tradition dating back to its founding in 1839, as Bloomsburg Literary Institute, a private academy to provide classical education. All students are required to complete over 50 semester hours of general education courses within the disciplines of arts and sciences. We have recently initiated a new Bachelor of Science degree in electrical and electronics engineering technology, a program unique in this liberal arts setting. In this paper, we will discuss how and why engineering technology was introduced into this type of environment.
