Times change, and engineering has developed a lot from what it was in 1970's or 1980's when many present day adults chose their future profession or strategy in life. When engineering was considered an important major tune of the modern world, but so new and elementary thst some sought for extra means for developing the understanding of engineers toward more complex and more resembling life, guessing that anything would be better, they decided that it woukd be good to invest in learning from actors, and in doing anything more complex, being along in life even if it went compketely ashtray, and guessing that such shoukd be given room even if it was only criminal, and that thise who had skills on some other area of life ought to stay on that instead of choosing a profession they themselves like.
So it matters a lot that also more complex machines exist nowadays, both computers and even robots capable of having some kibd of pictures of the world, observation abilitues snd abilities to tune their actions according to their observatiobs and picture of the world. Also the internet brings a wider sphere of complex things into the attention of engineering students etc.
So engineering no longer is so elementary that it stays separate from the rest of the society. And so there is no need to allow all complex things for engineers etc. Instead one should emphasize that with the wide world one ought to rely on school education, on having different emphazies on skills snd values in different school subjects, instead of trying the engineering approsch to everything. In building a picture of the world, objective thinkibg taught by school is much better than engineering studies alone.
