Enrolment is decreasing in computer science. It's not increasing in engineering. Those are highly valued skills.
I'm a biology graduate, and when I was doing my bachelor's degree, one of my teachers told the class that science leads to anything. Sometimes you have to venture into different fields. We certainly expect NSERC staff to have a scientific background so that they can interact with the community.
Education in science and engineering leads.... Obviously, we would like them to pursue science and engineering careers, but they are not limited to the scientific and technical fields as careers.
