I had a professor mention that during the last bubble (circa 2001), they had dedicated an entire building to the EECS department. Shortly thereafter, the bubble popped, enrollment collapsed and the EECS department went back to just the hacker type. It seems we are in another one of those cycles. Anecdotally, when I was in university around 2012, I noticed that the same people who would have gone to medical or law school, abruptly change their paths to CS. When I started hiring people, I noticed the same trend in resumes.
