> Who gets a degree in manufacturing engineering today?

https://www.engineering.txstate.edu/Programs/MFGE.html

https://mime.oregonstate.edu/manufacturing-engineering-under...

Or anywhere that offers both an IE and ME degree, you could likely build your own.

Typically, degree programs don't exist without students. ;)

Yes, and a lot of those come from abroad, especially in STEM fields, and China and India lead the list by a significant margin when looking at where they come from, and the largest share by field go to engineering:

Sure, that still leaves plenty of native US students.

You will be surprised to see where you see American process, and manufacturing engineers today.

We had not a few 6 year degreed engineers from USA working in China full time.

Similarly in semiconductor manufacturing, quite a lot of US semiconductor process engineers were working in Taiwan, with its really low salaries, long before the TSMC made advances into the US market.
