    Apart from universities there is issue with governments and policy makers that needs to be changed to make next generation of EE engineers.

    Specifically, in the developing world governments do not have right understanding of the technology and skilled workers in tech domain. Their policies are not friendly to the skilled workers in this field that is why many of the EE engineers try to find jobs abroad in developed world. That unfortunately do not work for everyone. Every EE engineer can not find a job opportunity or they do not find right living conditions out of their home country.

    That is why it is quite important for governments to understand where technology stands today and where they need to put their efforts. In fact, I find the policies of the government here in India that is ""anti-EE engineers"" that is killing the job market and startups to create products.
