A Study on Integration of Humanities and Social Sciences in Engineering Education of Myanmar (Aung Myint Myat, 2021) Aung Myint Myat In Myanmar, the role of liberal studies has been off-tracked in engineering education for a long time. However, humanity and social science (HSS) courses are added in the engineering curriculum to attain the required credit units of general studies to meet the requirements of Washington Accord in 2017. The aim of this empirical study is to clearly understand the current status of HSS studies in Myanmar engineering education system and to observe the perceptions of engineering students and teachers to HSS courses. Descriptive method with explanatory sequential survey design, using primary data obtained from surveys and focus group studies was used in this study. The study found that the time is right for integration of HSS studies in traditional techno centric education by Myanmar Engineering Council provided an excellent framework to keep on the right track. The suggestion in this study is to enhance student experience, curriculum mapping, and support the outcome-based education system by making alliance between engineering universities and other institutions, upgrading the knowledge and skills of HSS teachers with regular trainings, providing proper and flexible time-management to teach HSS in the classes and supporting the strong outcome-based engineering education from policy makers. 2021-01-01 https://meral.edu.mm/records/8645
