About HASS
The Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences Department is dedicated to delivering a program of excellence in the humanities and social sciences, designed to prepare students for the complex challenges of professional and private life in the 21st century.
Empowering Engineering Leadership
Few important engineering decisions are purely technical. In our globally interconnected world, professionals must be able to integrate social, cultural, political, economic, ethical and environmental knowledge into their decisions and designs.
Academic work in the Humanities, Arts, & Social Sciences provides you with an understanding of these contexts, enhances your abilities to communicate well, gives you the foundations to transcend traditional technical boundaries, establishes your competitive edge in the professional marketplace and prepares you to be a leader and a lifelong learner.
