Engineering (and Software Engineering) is all about building a bridge that barely stands. Tuning the entire process to be cheap as possible with as little risk as can be stomached. It’s very concerned with what happened in the past, to feed into those decisions.
Science (and Computer Science) is all about getting a giant telescope into space. Tuning the entire process to discover and keep working when it finds some new and unexpected. It’s very concerned with what might happen in the future, and uses those predictions to feed into current decisions.
It sounds to me like you’ve got it backwards. It’s the science you don’t much enjoy. Maybe try your hand at something like project management to get closer to the engineering role?
