> Who gets a degree in manufacturing engineering today?

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



That's Where or How, not Who.


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.
