<p>All ABET-accredited engineering degree programs have humanities and social studies breadth requirements (even Brown), although the nature and extent of such requirements varies (the breadth requirements at MIT and Harvey Mudd are relatively heavy compared to those at most schools).</p>
<p>Differences in how such breadth requirements are organized include:
- Number of courses or credits.
- Specifically required courses.
- Whether a distribution across different departments or categories of humanities and social studies is required.
- Whether a depth or concentration requirement is included.
- Whether advanced-level courses are required.</p>
<p>For example, Harvey Mudd requires 11 total humanities, social studies, and arts courses, including one required course (HSA 10), distribution over five different disciplines, a four course depth in one discipline, and at least one writing intensive course: <a href=“https://www.hmc.edu/hsa/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2013/12/Concept-Map-of-HSA-Curriculum-Fall-2010.pdf”>https://www.hmc.edu/hsa/wp-content/uploads/sites/25/2013/12/Concept-Map-of-HSA-Curriculum-Fall-2010.pdf</a> .</p>
<p>MIT requires 8 total humanities, arts, and social studies courses, including two communication intensive courses, at least one each in humanities, arts, and social studies, and a three or four course concentration: <a href=“Welcome! < MIT”>Welcome! < MIT;
<p>Brown requires 4 total humanities and social studies courses for the ABET-accredited Sc.B engineering degree options (but not the non-ABET-accredited BA engineering degree options): <a href=“Engineering | Brown University”>Engineering | Brown University; (page 6)</p>
