Atle:

which program is better

Do you want to do computer science or computer engineering? They are different majors.

Atle:

what about internships and job placement after completion?

You can get an internship from either. Getting a job after your OPT period requires a sponsoring employer. That’s not easy and it depends on the state of the economy and applicable immigration laws at that time. As an international student you might quite likely need to return to your home country.

Atle:

Georgia Tech has a slight edge in terms of ranking and reputation. Does that really matter?

Both schools have a very strong reputation.

Is there a meaningful cost difference to you between the two? Do you want to be in a city? Is weather an important factor for you?
