When I was in engineering undergrad (1993-97), popular non-scitech reads were: Adams, Pratchett, Vonnegut, LOTR, Catch 22. And I hate to admit it...Ayn Rand (to our credit, mostly hated) Has the list changed much since? What did engineering students in the 00’s and ‘10’s read?

In this case yes because I’m curious about books that got popular in campus communities which tend to be fairly insular in an interesting way. Like I’d be shocked in finite and infinite games made the top 5 in any engineering school in any year since it was published.

fwiw i think you’d be making a mistake to disregard it based on your understanding of how campuses work and what you’ve been told about my paper credentials but I don’t really have anything to refute with other than every other human i know that’s read it was an “eng” major

I guess it might differ by campus, how segregated they are physically, how much they mix with other groups etc. What you read that overlapped with popular engineering campus reads is probably much more eclectic
