I disagree. I'm a CpE major who, on account of being denied a double major, is cherry picking the upper level math classes (Abstract Algebra, Number Theory and Group Theory). Abstract algebra teaches methods of problem solving that you can't really learn somewhere else. Reducing a problem to rings or groups let's you simplify it drastically. While most problems aren't exactly a direct ring or group, similar approaches can be taken. Assumptions can be dropped and more "friendly" operators can be used instead. At the same time, I do have to agree. If you don't get math, it's not going to do much good.
