To me computer science is the part that scientists are best at, software engineering & hardware engineering are the part that engineers are best at.

Along comes IT who takes whatever hardware & software they can get possessing varying degrees of scientific advancement, and tries to network everybody to their wildest dreams without losing any data.

I would say computer science is the art of using computers to make advancements whether or not the advancements are made to the very computers or software themselves or not.

Lots of worthwhile computer science can actually be accomplished without writing any software or doing any engineering.

Anyway, this is the 21st century, every student was expected to be much more familiar with both computer science and coding by now, so that the aggregate benefits overall would be far more widespread than in just a few "tech" centers.

Every more-computer-literate high school graduate could not have been expected to be an expert, but every org of a certain size would ideally have enough in-house talent to at least take care of their own software needs by now.
