I came here to make a similar point. Electrical engineers study a certain amount of physics as part of their major, but their main focus and area of expertise is engineering, and you never hear them claim otherwise. If the main focus of a training is not to become a computer scientist, but to become someone who can engineer good software for real world applications, then don't call it a science degree.

This list is, "a software engineering study plan to become a software engineer".

This is good. I took the E&M course for electrical engineers at my university, a very well-regarded engineering school. I ha no idea what I was doing. After every exam, I thought I'd have to drop the course. One of my scores was a solid B, another was the third highest. I got a B because I didn't know how to do the homework. Literally the only thing I could do was get the sign and units right in the multiple choice answer.
