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.
