A New Civic Engagement: Risk, Resilience & Empathy for Sustainable Future(s)
FRIDAY AND SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 22 & 23
The first Engineering and Liberal Education (E&LE) Symposium was held at Union College in 2008 and was made possible by a Presidential Discretionary Award from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Over the years, this symposium has provided a forum for educators and professionals to discuss the role of engineering at a liberal arts college and liberal arts in an engineering education.
