Computer science deals with the software side, so involves plenty of programming. What you specifically go into decides what other, more conceptual things you learn, though CS students will go through data structures and algorithm courses.

In terms of some specific areas of CS, people go into graphics (like for gaming and animation), cryptology/security, data mining/machine learning, artificial intelligence, software engineering, etc.

I know many go the security or software engineering route, but there are many other areas, though some are very mathematical and complex and generally require more advanced degrees to get really into it.

Also, to my knowledge, computer engineers are the engineers that try to mesh hardware and software together so they work in unison, though I don’t know for sure.
