Although I usually agree with Lifeoftheay, I have to disagree with his underlying premise that engineering is inherently worth more the "softer" sciences:  psychology, socioliology, etc.   Sociology and psychology, properly taught, are arguably as valuable as engineering.  The same can be said for even softer programs, like literature, philosophy, and the arts.  In fact, since the main meaning of life is more important to a Catholic than a bridge, it would seem that a well-taught, Christ-centered philosophy degree is more is more valuable than an engineering degree.  But Lifeof the Lay has a point.   Lots of sociology and psychology grads are tending bar, and sociology and psychology departments do not teach a Christ-centered meaning of life.  Indeed, most teach the opposite, and what passes for well-written scholarship in many sociology and psych departments is jargon-laden gibberish.  As an undergraduate, I read way too many sociology and psychology journals to think otherwise.
