> Or a creative writing class how to perform the physical act of writing?

A computer science class teaching how transistors work is more like a creative writing class teaching how pencils are made, and focusing on the quirks a particular language is like the creative writing class teaching a specific style of cursive.

There are degrees which blend the EE and CS worlds, commonly referred to as computer engineering. That would be more along the lines of mixing the hardware/boolean logic idea with then software development. But that's definitely a different perspective compared to what computer science historically meant.
