Answer
Not necessarily, in my department computer programming was an elective but not a requirement;  i.e.; some courses are taken voluntarily at the choice of the student.  But computer skills is highly recommended in all engineering because sooner or later you will be using a computer to solve problems.  And if robotics is taught, for example, I don't know how you would control a robot without a computer.

Check engineering school websites and courses to see exactly what is required (e.g. U. of Washington - Seattle).
