Computer science is the study of algorithms, the study of algorithms fits the scientific method. Programming and electronics is not computer science. QED.

Science is the study of the fundamentals. Algorithms is clearly a science as is compiler design and even electronics ( someone has to create new types of components, transistors, memristors, etc... )

Building things with those fundamentals is not science, it's engineering.
