It’s really interesting how far right most engineering majors are. Got into an argument with one last year who insisted that all muslims are terrorists and that christianity will save the world. Also thought Bernie was a commie that was gonna kill us all with breadlines lol.
For most of them though, I blame the fact that engineering programs are designed to funnel people into the military industrial complex. Their world views are explicitly sculpted through lack of philosophy classes, environmental/climate change classes, etc.
