Computer engineering is a mix between EE which entails (circuits, signals, etc) and CS ( algorithms, data structures, operating systems, Digital logic).

Its a good mix between the two.

You may have problems with circuits especially if you are learning on an EE level because at least when I took it, you needed Differential equations and such.

But you really don't and one could lean about them. If you don't have a book already, I would just use online recourses or rent a book for a electronics technician.

Also getting a electronics lab from Radioshack is going to be alot more beneficial to learning rather than reading a book. I learned Circuits in HS when I took a series of classes to become a licensed electrician.
