- Abstract
General education is a topic that cannot be ignored in higher education in many countries around the world today. In particular, American higher education, especially in the fields of science and engineering, continues to lead globally, and general education is an indispensable part of undergraduate education in the United States. Based on searching on 3 top tech universities, this paper primarily explores the educational goals, curriculum design, and assessment mechanisms of general education in science and engineering universities. Which can explore the cultivation of students' humanistic quality. At the same time, there is also an emphasis on the development of students' professional careers and the compromise on social employment.
