I've never heard of a physics class that "indoctrinates" students with anti-religion propoganda.

And I've never heard of a university that allows you to get an engineering degree by taking only engineering classes. Other courses are required, you know.

The liberal arts classes taken were almost universally seen as a waste of time and a joke by the engineers I've know. Any indoctrination therin was noted and blown off. Indoctrination therein was most accepted by liberal arts types, who were laughed at by the science types.

When ya gotta spend 75%+ of your education training up in hard, verifiable facts and the scientific method, random art or psych classes do not tend to make much of an impact. For example, the anthropology course on Magic Adn Witchcraft I took one time just to fill in the schedule was just so much New Agey schlock; I got little from it beyond noticing that the teacher was a boob. Now, if I had to pacl my schedule *full* of such classes, *then* maybe indoctrination might have been a problem. But then if I'd done that... the female-to-male ratio of the classes I took would have been vastly improved.... hmmm....
