I agree. The term "well-rounded" is often bastardized to mean "well-versed in humanities." It is particularly noticeable in college: engineers are required to take a large number of humanities courses, but people studying liberal arts only have to take one or two technical courses. Because of this, the average engineer is exposed to both technical disciplines and the humanities, whereas the average liberal arts student only sees the humanities.
Unless we redefine well-rounded in a way that is contrary to its original meaning, engineers may very well be more well-rounded than people studying humanities.
