>Lots of math and hard science is in the major.

How different is this from engineering more broadly, to say nothing about math or physics majors? (I can see CS being a bit more math-heavy than some other engineering disciplines because at many schools, it's been historically associated with the math department but I think the general point stands.)

To understand these numbers, I'd have to understand better how degrees roll up into Computer & information sciences vs. Engineering & engineering technologies. At many schools, "CS" is in the engineering school, often associated with electrical engineering.
