I think this is not true. When interviewed, people who have crossed over from ChemE/MechE/etc say it's engineering. We just iterate a lot faster because compiling is cheap and most software failures are cheap.
I think we rely too much on stereotypical ideas of what "real engineers" are doing, which can't be defined and generally don't stand up to scrutiny. For instance, is designing a processor in VHDL computer engineering or merely programming?
