  "Please enlighten me, since it was too hard for you to do that in the first place." I don't have one, and I haven't looked closely, but I do have several friends who are ME grads and from what I understand it can cover a lot of control theory and machine learning stuff that winds up being applicable all over the place (there's currently a lot of demand for ME grads in finance, robotics is a possible growth area that uses a whole ton of things from ME, &c). "Also let me know why I need to know the nuts and bolts of an ME degree to understand that far more people are getting pushed into ME than people that are actually getting jobs in ME." Because "what the degree covers" is tremendously relevant to whether there will be growth in demand for people with that degree, which is the entire question here. I think software supply is more likely to outstrip software demand than ME supply to outstrip ME demand, though not with high confidence (the future is always uncertain).
