Point being: to me, Georgetown's competitive advantage lies in areas other than STEM... and that's ok. I see no compelling need - a desire for balance or otherwise - that requires the university to create an engineering program from scratch or to make the student body more STEM-focused.

I think there's a middle ground here as it pertains to Amazon creating an H2 in Crystal City - Amazon probably doesn't need engineering students. Amazon isn't going to be building chipsets or making semiconductors in Crystal City - you don't need to have an EE or Computer Engineering or Mechanical Engineering program to take advantage of them creating a bunch of jobs there, opportunities for research, and possible internships for your students.

Georgetown has had a Computer Science program for like 40 years. Maybe fund that a little bit more?

As one of the 7 computer science majors in my graduating class at Georgetown, I agree.
