<p>The science part of the engineering curriculum is pretty much identical to what you would be taking at the liberal arts college. The difference is, while you are taking additional liberal arts courses at the liberal arts college, an engineering college student would typically be taking some real intro courses in the various engineering disciplines, and this would help him/her craft a path within the field, pick a major and qualify for more advanced level courses, by the time junior year rolls around.</p>
<p>Again, this is only by reference of my own experience.</p>
