Computer Engineer is specialize field within Electrical Engineer. Here’s list of field in Electrical and Computer Engineer:

Bioengineering
Computer Engineer
digital signal processing
electrical energy (power)
Electromagnetic
Electronic Design & Application
Microsystem
Optics and photonics
System and Control
Telecommunication

You can think of Computer Engineer as specialize field within Electrical Engineer. In Georgia tech, you gotta take 3 more courses in core curriculum to get Computer Engineer degree. Those courses are are VHDL coding class (machine level coding), Computer Architecture, VLSI (very large scale integration). Also another thing different about Computer Engineer is that you can replace Electrical Engineer course with Computer Science courses.

I can’t tell you about EE and CompE in details since it’s your duty to find out what’s the difference between the two majors and decide what career path you want to take. But don’t decide between two majors sorely on job availability.
