It's a tired stereotype perpetuated by shitty movies. What, and your statement that scientist and engineers don't care about anything else wasn't? Look, this is all anecdotal, but the CS/science/math/engineering students I knew in school were generally voracious readers, well informed about current events, politically opinionated in a highly educated way, appreciative of the arts, and involved in extra-curricular activities. They were frequently well-traveled, multi-lingual, and musicians. They were reasonably well represented in student government. Maybe the schools you went to were different, but this is my experience.
