mine has a strong measurement ( metrology and instrumentation ) component,
althou is not focused on such, it is one of the exits, as several ex-colegues of mine currently work on such jobs, but it is necessary sometimes to go "the extra mile" to do so, never the less, much easier to "get in" than other engineering degrees around. however there is still a need for more on that particular area.
we waste too much time on courses than simply have no pratical application and are an agglomerate of others, with no added value. 4th and 5th year is filled with such. Only optics and final projects are interesting (imo).

yes, unpleasant, and time consuming, i also stay away from it if i can.
spent a few months on labwork with temperature mainly,
althou it was semi-automated (love that labview), still took hours for a a valid single step response , in some cases.
but not voodoo. seems that ways if you dont have a clue on what you're doing.
