Nothing about engineering really covers security best principles and practices.

I went through classical engineering school, and I'd summarize with three categories:

* Newtonian Physics & The Mathematics Behind It (i.e. Differential Equations)

* Ethics

* Technical Communications

That's because there is no software engineering program, and other engineering programs don't deal with "security" per se.
