I think one can become a better software engineer only by working your way up to be better in software engineering. Doesn't matter that much (to a certain degree) if you are the CS Master, Math Wiz or the Alchemist, you have to program, program and program to become a better software engineer. It's true that studying CS will give you the privilege of understanding some pretty darn complicated concepts that you wouldn't actually read in your free time. And the same for studying Math, picking up all the good logic and proper way of writing your algorithms. But again, the only way to become a better software engineer is to do software engineering.
