No, I guess it is only applied to computer science. Most people sort it more towards math than engineering.

  "Computer science" is sort of a different thing and not necessarily engineering, even though the typical software engineer's formal degree is in "computer science" (and also people don't use the terminology totally consistently). But as for software engineering, I think the article makes a really solid case that electrical, chemical, and industrial engineering don't have anything relevant in common that software engineering doesn't, so putting the latter in a separate "lightweight engineering" category just isn't right.
