• Answer:

  Comp Sci focuses more on general computing with a lot of foundations especially in programming and logic structures. Comp Eng focuses a lot more on the internal structures and infrastructure behind the scenes - optimized computing structures and performance. There is a lot of overlap between the two, so you have to ask yourself whether you want to program or be a hardware specialist. You can also work on your required courses first because many overlap and decide when you get further into your degree. Also, upon graduation, one does not preclude the other. Neither can displace true experience. Also, my description may not apply to all schools' programs. Good luck!
