This research shares insights into the results of a three-year process of re-engineering general education at Brigham Young University--Hawaii (BYU--Hawaii), a private university, and the impact this change has conveyed to our students, curriculum, and faculty. The authors first describe the background of traditional general education, then describe the impetus for change. This is followed by a detailed explanation of the new general education program and the resulting impact on students, specifically those perusing degrees in computer science, information systems, and information technology.
