    Most of the worst “I fucking love science” spouting STEMbro types I knew tended to be the TE part of it, and often had outright hostility toward “soft” sciences (including biology for some reason) and “too theoretical and not useful” maths. To summarize, if it wasn’t in high demand in the capitalistic status quo and wasn’t directly focused on gathering resources or producing a product, they mocked it.

      Some of those exist, and there is a meme about who shits on who in science community going something like this: math > physics > engineering, which is somewhat true. Again, what you are talking about sounds to me like a business school in STEM suit rather than a university focused on basic research.

        The people I roomed and went to class with were firmly in the TE categories but did move on to Silicon Valley startups after graduating.
