I think you'll find that the line between "computer scientist" and "software engineer" is rather blurred.

Although to be fair most simulation code I've come across was written by Physics majors who really shouldn't be writing code. Most of those implementations are a crime against engineering and humanity alike.

They do the job, though, and I suppose crimes against engineering are better than crimes against physics, if one had to choose.
