> its not like those fields teach about childhood development.

I agree, Pedagogical science fits in STEM and I think it's very important we deeply invest in childhood development. I mostly think the subject matter of school is questionable, not the fact we go to school (hence why I suggested we also fund STEM degrees for anyone smart enough to finish it)

I agree, however, I do think liberal arts is essential to being a humanist engineer. And personally, I want to be producing engineers who's main focus is improving quality of life.

People I talk to who dont have the range of wide education miss a lot of context for the world they are living in, temporaly, politically, and socially. And would push to keep it a necessary part of that stem education.
