<p>I think the bigger problem is the assumption that only people who have passed an engineering curriculum can “innovate” or contribute anything worthwhile to the world. If somebody has something truly worthwhile/innovative to contribute to the world and they are passionate about it, they are going to do so with or without an engineering degree. If they cannot hack an engineering undergrad program, they will go somewhere else and figure out another way/</p>
