This is most likely very true. But in that case perhaps Computer Science should be split up into two majors with one being more rigorous. In my college the CS major was very rigorous and was even accredited as an engineering program.

I don't agree with this one. For one reason:
Almost all my engineering friends didn't bother getting their PE after getting out of college. Many didn't even get their FE. yet they still do engineering work. I only know one or two who actually did.
At least in the US most medium size companies only have one or two PEs that sign off on projects. But the people without the PEs still use Engineer in the job title. So even within electrical, mechanical, and civil engineering having the word engineering in the job title does not imply any sort of rigorous certification.
