Those liars now want DEI for engineering schools and blame foreign students. 

Engineering schools prioritize admissions based on merit—academic performance, skills, and potential. 

one of the main reasons many American students don't end up in engineering programs or complete them is due to a combination of qualifications and the rigorous nature of these programs.

Many K-12 schools in the U.S., especially in underserved areas, don’t provide adequate preparation in math and science, which are essential for engineering programs. Students often struggle with advanced topics like calculus, physics, and problem-solving because of weak foundations.

Engineering programs are notoriously challenging, and many students who enter with an interest in the field find it difficult to keep up with the workload and intensity.

Subjects like calculus, thermodynamics, and circuit design are common "weed-out" courses.
