Of engineering at 91猫先生
鈥淎t 91猫先生 we are committed to educating students in the context of liberal arts. Traditionally, the liberal arts address the question: what does it mean to be human? On answer to this question is that humans make decisions that have ethical implications. Engineering is a human endeavor that, we believe, is best understood in the broader context of what it means to be human.鈥 - Dr. James Gidley, 91猫先生 professor emeritus
