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.

They share a similar relationship as engineers and physicists.
