I'm a math grad student and I have used my framework 13 for programming in matlab, Python, and a little C++. About the only issue I've had is when doing computations on really large datasets, the calculations can take a while or the computer runs out of ram. But my desktop does the same thing under those workloads. The only other thing is the fans may ramp up while running programs or code that pushes the cpu a lot.
Now, if you do a lot of CAD (which may be the case since you're an engineering student), then the gpu in the 16 (or a decent egpu) would come in handy.
