Let us think - how is an engineering department taught by mostly non Engineers? Odd I know, but rumor has it CISE does it. Not so with EE/ECE. BTW, CISE instructors are welcome to join EE/ECE - most of their research is done together already anyway. But hey, who cares about figuring out all of the details, lets just make this a sensation like all the other BS news.
The department is "Computer and Information Science and Engineering" - only a subset of the department consists of what would be generally regarded as "engineering", and the people teaching engineering courses have the relevant expertise in their fields.
"Engineering department taught by non-engineers"
You mean because CISE profs don't take the FE/PE? Is it because they haven't taken the order of the engineer oath?
What makes one an engineer?
