Computer science is an engineering endeavor. It still boggles me
that most universities don't teach their CS students the engineering
design process from an academic perspective.

Even people who do the most highly abstract theoretical algorithm
work have to run their algorithms _on_ something. The hardest of
the hardcore algorithm analysis kids I've known know unix system
internals inside out. They have to.
If people want to be in "computer science" without _actually_
learning how a computer works, that's what the mathematics department
is for. ;-) Myself, I like both. Double major in CS and Math
for me.
