I believe that article was being slightly fast-and-loose with the
definition of a computer scientist.
Ian Wright would have been referring to engineering graduates when
that discussion was being made with the journalist.
In vehicle dynamics you can be a maths graduate, a physics graduate,
an engineering graduate from many disciplines - including mechanical
and aerodynamics and succeed well.

I hope you understand my distinction - on the one hand the article
talked about computer science courses, but on the other hand it was
talking about engineering graduates and how they fit in.
