    Curricula should include multiple disciplines. EEs should learn about mechanics, fluids, chemistry and thermodynamics etc. These will always be relevant even if a particular job requires deep specialization because products, processes and systems are always multidisciplinary. Jobs that require leading edge technology usually go beyond what academia has been able to institutionalize, so that level of learning needs to be done on the job.
