It's difficult to overstate how misguided this is. Engineering types are already seen as the ones who picked the right major, so we're seeing a flood of people heading into those fields.

The result thus far has been that we have more ways than ever before to target advertisements and share stupid pictures of ourselves and offer interpretations of rap lyrics. Has this improved western culture, as far as you're concerned?

Science and engineering has influenced culture far more then traditional literature in the past half century. You might not like the direction our culture has taken, but you are far more likely to be able to change it with technology then with prose.
