[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]STEM majors have 40-50% of courses that are humanities.

It is the humanities majors who are having  serious gaps in education.

Only at top privates/ivies/very top publics. At average places Engineering is more of a tech skills major and does not lead to the best jobs in Engineering or fully funded phD options out of undergrad. It is the school, not the major. Gone are the days when every CS or "engineering" kid from directional state could get an 80k job. Entry level coding-skills based jobs are already being replaced by AI not what top schools train for. Entry level hands on "engineering" jobs do not need college they need trade schools and are not really for engineering degree kids. DCUM does not understand what engineering really is. It is akin to those who think an nurse is really similar to an NP which is really similar to a physician. They are completely different careers that select from completely different undergrad backgrounds, and one of them does not need undergrad degree at all. Trade school tech jobs are not directional-state engineering jobs which are not engineering careers that come after a rigorous Ivy/MIT/UCB/GT/UWash/CMU BSE degree[/quote]
 Students from UMD, UMich, GATech, UTX can do very well after graduation.[/quote]
