One problem is that many colleges refuse to include “for profit” universities in their numbers when they try to report on such things. All universities are for-profit, they just try to claim they are altruistic.

Sadly, I’ll stand by my 1:100 ratio. There simply isn’t much demand for EE students versus CS/IT. A few classes might be EE students with 6-12 students in a class but there would be a hundred classes with 25 CS/IT students.

In the profession, all my EE friends moved to CS over the years. I rarely run into an EE anymore. If I do, they are over 50 and did their EE back in the 70’s or 80’s. When I started college in 79, most EE/CS were in the EE program with CS as a minor. I was doing a double major, and, since CS was not an engineering program, it was allowed. The CS field was still fairly new, and it was popular, but with far fewer students in it.
