    Computer engineering - very advanced electrical engineering, hardware based Computer science - math applied to computing problems (can be virtually the same as software engineering at some levels) Software engineering - building software products

I'm Europe that's different. Computer engineering is something that concernes with all areas of IT technologies. You'll start studying classical engineering courses like calculus, physics, algebra but you will also study programming courses, software engineering courses, web technologies, operating systems http://etc.as well as electronics and telecommunications. So it's a wide range, large spectrum course compared to computer science. On the other side computer science has lots of theoretical courses that c. Eng misses. -Alessio
