<p>I plan on majoring in computer science. I know that some schools (like Cornell and Princeton) consider C.S. as a both engineering and a liberal art. Just wondering if I should submit an essay for essay question #2?</p>

<p>No, Computer Science is not an engineering school degree/subject. The only engineering school subjects are:</p>

<pre><code> Biomedical Engineering (B.S.)
Chemical Engineering (B.S.)
Electrical Engineering (B.S.)
Engineering Sciences (Chemical) (B.S.)
Engineering Sciences (Electrical, Environmental, or Mechanical) (B.A. or B.S.)
Environmental Engineering (B.S.)
Mechanical Engineering (B.S.)
</code></pre>

<p>There is a joint engineering and “liberal art” degree called: Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. But most computer science people I know just major in “computer science” which is not in engineering.</p>
