I think one of the big differences between a traditional engineering degree and computer science is that in the traditional engineering education you get some insight into this expectation. I was required to take courses in public speaking and economics, because it's expected that you have some level of business acumen, and use that to make engineering decisions. I think this is because engineering is understood to be the practical application of the principles revealed by academic science / research for the sake of building things and making money. Comp sci doesn't seem to have this analog as of yet, despite many programmers referring to themselves as engineers.
