The problem is that only a few decades ago, computer science was a fairly pure branch of mathematics - now you can argue whether mathematics is a science or not in general, but applied mathematics is nearly indistinguishable from physics in many areas, and computer science certainly flirted with applied mathematics.

What gets taught as computer science has evolved rapidly in the last couple of decades and it is my impression that quite a bit of it comes under software engineering now.

This is why I get annoyed when you see jobs in the software sector or software management that require a Comp Sci degree. It's actually a subtly ageist requirement - twenty years ago, computer science was not what you did if you were interested in computers - you did physics so they would let you play with their VAX cluster.
