My Major Lifespan

until AI starts shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates

AI absorbs entry-level work such as setting up analyses, design calculations, and test reports, but FAA airworthiness sign-offs and pre-flight approvals remain human responsibilities, so the verification bottleneck slows adoption, and defense and space spending props up hiring. Graduates who move into mechanical design or embedded systems feel it sooner.

Major lifespan is the time left until AI is expected to start shrinking hiring of this major’s graduates. It doesn’t mean the major will disappear or that everyone will lose their job.
