I disagree with you on the notion that CS is a branch of Engineering and not mathematics. It's not that I'm with the view that CS is a branch of mathematics btw.

I'm with Edsger Dijkstra's point that Computer Science is a new emerging paradigm which should be approached with a Zen-like mindset... It depends on the natural sciences, however, take for example: mathematics, information theory...etc and on the other hand it depends on Engineering... Yet it's not an interdisciplinary field for any of the mentioned ones above! It's a field of its own making.
