Engineers are treated like pariahs in US universities. Geeks, nerds all. This is good training for the "real world" where an engineer is about one step above a janitor(No disrespect to janitors intended here.) I guess all of our poly-sci communications majors can't compete with Chinese engineers in a global economy. What a shock!

I can speak for a family of engineers and tech types. Shaft them, we are geeks and proud of it. The Geek shall inherit the earth.
