It's not attacking the field, it is a fact. A CS degree is not an engineering degree. That is what a CE degree is. Don't confuse the two. He rants about communications majors stopping math after high school. What does CS require? Calc, discrete, and prob/stat? An engineer degree is going to require 2-3 more classes than that in math. So the sword cuts both ways.

This really varies from place to place. Many CS degrees are engineering degrees - that's how it works at Berkeley, for example.
