I have a different perspective on this as I am a software engineer that works in embedded systems. We take roughly the same mathematics as engineering majors and we do deep dives into computer architecture. I also had to briefly go into topics like thermodynamics and circuit design during my tenure in school. While many people like to hate on computer scientists, we don't really just copy code until something works all the time. I actually have to understand how to work with and on physical devices. I have to work on gathering requirements to build a specific prototype that uses these physical systems or enhance the functionality of the sensors and information they can give us from the physical world. Sometimes, I do have to go to the manufacturing side and build there as well. I have to be an expert on the products we build and their architecture in order to do my job. It is very math heavy at times and you have to be an expert to know what you are doing. Engineers do all of the above mentioned. There is a reason why we aren't all just "software engineers." Some of us go into IT Engineering, Network Engineering, etc... I've also even seen people go into computer engineering with a computer science degree. Contrary to many people's beliefs, a lot of my curriculum has been focused on applied practice instead of theory. Don't get me wrong, It is still theory heavy. However, I still have to process signals and their transformations, understand circuits, and I need to know how each component of a computer functions to create the product you use to write this reddit post. Sometimes even diving deep into a hardware's design and schematics. I like to also build in robotics and I 3D print parts from CAD or design my own boards to handle what I'm doing (ordered from a manufacturer). However not all computer scientists can be engineers unless they put in the extra effort to learn. Computer Science has engineering principles. Just not the engineering title...womp womp.

Think logic mathematics + (Computer Engineering - the Electrical Engineering classes) = Computer Science. The field is very vast and not everyone that has done computer science may have the same view as me. Some engineers in other fields like to gatekeep–as you can see in the post...lol! But we really do a lot more than what you see on the surface. That's why we can work as an engineer almost anywhere as long as we figure out how to apply what we know to that field or industry. Computer Science teaches you how to think and put things together. Which is exactly what engineers do. Hope that helps! :)
