“Sorry for going a bit off-topic… but is Computer Science a discipline in engineering? If not, which department does it belong? Just “science”, as the name implies?”

That is the million-dollar question which still has not been answered after all of these years. Computer science has always been a discipline that had no distinct home. At some schools, CS is part of the engineering college. At some other schools, CS is part of the Math department. The two different homes have also caused differences in how much math is required for CS.
