I’m not an expert in the auto industry (like I assume you are, I’m the parent of a senior), but we’ve been hearing that hands-on design team and internship / co-op experience is really valuable, maybe more important than choice of major. We’ve been told that there are jobs for both ME and EE. Did someone at the event tell you that there was an oversupply of ME?

It looks like you posted a lot on the TAMU thread. Is this where your son wants to go? They seem to have really active and strong SAE design teams, and I like what I see about their process for training newcomers to the team (check out SAE Development Program). Here’s the TAMU SAE web site: https://www.tamusae.org
