5/1 What's the difference between CS and Computer Engineering?

\_ One is science and the other is engineering.
\_ From http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Computer_science
'A folkloric quotation ... states that "computer science is no more
about computers than astronomy is about telescopes." The design
and deployment of computers and computer systems is generally
considered the province of disciplines other than computer science.
For example, the study of computer hardware is usually considered
part of computer engineering'
Here in Cal, though, I think an EECS major is free to take a whole
bunch of CS16x and even CS17x theory courses (maybe that's why it's
called EECS rather than CE) while a CS major can take EE courses.
As if it's not confusing enough already, check this out:

BTW, another set of seeming confusing majors in Cal:
BA Chemistry, BS Chemistry, BS Chemical Engineering.
