I think it is a good question.
I agree. Not because it applies to engineering per se, but because as part
of the engineering program, it becomes easier to include technically
oriented course studies. We spoke about Calculus. I personally don't use it,
but many on this list saw a justification for knowing it. It would be a
whole lot easier to include calc in an engineering program (it probably
already is mandatory) than an Eng program.
It would also attract a set of students with a more appropriate set of
priorities and inclinations.
