These are graduate school enrollment numbers. Without breaking down CS/EE versus most other engineering disciplines, are MS/PhDs the "primary" talent source for the tech industry?

For comparison, GATech claims 61% of their students get engineering degrees and an enrollment of 14,142, thus ~8,626 undergraduate engineering students.

Other school's engineering enrollment:

UT Austin claims 6,003 undergraduate and 2,101 graduate.

Berkeley claims 3,746 undergraduates and 2,357 graduates.

MIT claims 2,451 undergraduates.

Stanford claims 1570 undergraduate and 3603 graduate.

I think the parent comment is correct to say there are many larger engineering schools than MIT and Stanford.

Also Berkeley has two CS programs. One in the school of engineering, the other in Letters and Sciences.

I went to Georgia Tech, majored in Architecture, and even I somehow ended up in tech.
