Each year, enrolment numbers are closely monitored to identify any emerging trends among incoming students. Provisional data for the upcoming semester starting Monday show where these shifts are taking place.

This might be sensible, indicating a shift from "pure" CS into fields that profit from strong CS/Computer interaction? If generating-software is going to be automated, that should facilitate fields that use software. Similarly, and perhaps worryingly for the EE's, generating-hardware automation might follow as it's better defined than, say, biology.

They're not seeing a loss of students, so there's interest in studies, but perhaps a shift in what's considered employable. Interesting that there's no mention of science or PhD - I assume ETH offers the former and I've been in groups in ancient times that offer the latter.
