AI is taking over entry-level design-office work such as analysis, calculations, and specifications, but automating production-ready 3D design is still immature, and hands-on work with prototypes and machining remains. Demand from defense, HVAC, and general manufacturing absorbs graduates.

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.
