<p>Obsolete in the sense that there won’t be much direct innovation in the field. You will still need EEs to design (what I think would be mundane) things… circuits for common devices, power related issues, designing electrical structures, etc. Basically things that have been done before but need to be done again under different circumstances… nothing entirely new.</p>
<p>Most of the things I’m saying are conjectures since I have no experience in the real engineering world. I see a lot of great things happening in my school’s EE department and I’m excited about that… I just hope it continues to some extent in industry and work as well.</p>
