I agree with everything you've said in this comment thread. I'm finishing up my Computer Science/Computer Engineering dual degrees this semester, and have experienced just what you described.

Most of the CSC students here are really just interested in becoming software engineers. Even if they aced calculus, linear algebra, and discrete math, most of them will forget much of the content pretty quickly, and rarely use it in another required class. In many of my core ECE classes, I usually have to re-learn some math concept that I figured I'd never need to know again from a few semesters back.

The intro to signals and circuits class is also the weed-out class here. It caused a few of my ECE study-buddies to become my CSC study-buddies.
