But engineers just let computers do all the maths!
Depends on the engineer. Some make the software which does the math.
Those are computer scientists
Software engineers*. Computer scientists are concerned with the math behind computing and are mostly found in academia. Software engineers generally have a foundational knowledge of computer science they combine with software engineering principles to create robust software. Generally software engineers do have computer science degrees though.
