<p>This entire argument is based on a false assumption, which is that engineers only get educated in the hard sciences and their applications. Every legitimate university in the country has a core curriculum made up of 1.5-2 years worth of education in the social sciences, arts, and humanities. I’m not majoring in a liberal arts subject and I have taken a broad spectrum of courses; everything including biology, chemistry, philosophy, logic, math, statistics, history, government, economics, psychology, sociology, english, american literature, communication, and accounting. Granted, a typical engineering major may not take quite that many courses outside of engineering, but in my state I know there is a required core curriculum that includes 42 hours of coursework in subjects that have nothing to do with engineering and most engineering degrees will require upper division electives in subjects unrelated to engineering.</p>
