Engineering without Engineering ECs?

Hello everyone, I am interested in applying to CoE as a Computer Science major but I never had the opportunity to participate in too many engineering-related activities. I've never been on a robotics team or learned how to code in forty programming languages.
Is this something that they look for? Did anyone else have the same experience?

That's completely fine, you just need to show very strong grades in math and science classes, very high test scores in SAT and SAT IIs and a clear passion/interest for studying engineering in your essays.
