No, my argument is twofold:

1) Fallaciously or not, I typically associate engineers with the physical world. As I am familiar with them, engineers typically design tangible things.

2) I commonly hear of math and cs degrees being considered very closely related, and math is not engineering. It is vital to engineering, and I have mad respect for mathematicians, but a mathematician is not an engineer, hence why he is called a mathematician.

2.5) do cs majors really apply science? I thought it was almost entirely math and logic.

Yes, they apply computer science. Unless science needs to have flasks and microscopes involved.
