"While computer science course take-up had gone up by over 90 percent in the past 50 years, electrical engineering (EE) had declined by the same amount" Well yes, computer science used to be just a specialization of EE. Not that I don't think the EE scene is a little sad these days (I am currently an EE student) but I think this is important that we don't forget that EE has been split into a bunch of specializations.

CS started out as a specialization in the Math department, since CS is really just an extension of mathematics. EE is very math-heavy compared to other engineering fields, but CS never came from EE though there's a lot of overlap.
