Liberal arts education is attracting great interest in term of source of innovation to comprehend social needs and acceptance of technologies. However, the engineering has not been sufficiently included in the conventional liberal arts education, despite of its significance in modern society. To incorporate engineering in the liberal arts education, the following approaches are discussed. Engineers should learn social science and humanities to understand social needs and to enhance communication skills, and acquire generic engineering principle which is common in all engineering field. General public should develop technological literacy to ascertain the possibilities and limits of technology. Public, including engineers, should know nature of engineering to communicate each other, and obtain ability to identify the risk and benefit of technology.
