That's interesting. I graduated in 2005 from an engineering college and none of the engineers went into Comp Sci if they couldn't cut it in EE/ME/AE/ChemE. They went into "Engineering and Management" instead, which was basically a business degree for engineers.

The only engineering management program at our school is a graduate degree for engineers with undergrad engineering degrees already. One of the attractions of Comp Sci was the availability of jobs, which was why they tried to complete a traditional engineering program in the first place. It was kind of hilarious to see a frustrated student complaining about one of the simpler classes, but then explain that he was enduring the pain because of a job at the end of the tunnel.
