<p>Nanotechnology is absolutely correct; the sequence of engineering coursework can make scheduling extra humanities classes difficult. Not impossible, but not easy. That being said, most large universities will have multiple sections of many classes during each academic term, so an engineering major at State U should be able to enjoy a good selection of Humanities courses in addition to the university core requirements. As a practical matter, LACs and smaller universities just cannot offer the same (usually).</p>
<p>And it’s not only flagship campuses that could satisfy your interests. But you should be aware that financial aid/scholarships for non-residents can be hard to come by at public universities. Some fine exceptions with engineering schools are U of Alabama-Tuscaloosa, Ohio U, U of South Carolina-Columbia. Some interesting privates with engineering departments, good arts/humanities, and a reputation for decent financial aid are U of Portland, U of San Diego (5-year B.S.) and U of Tulsa.</p>
