Or, as it is more likely, things have changed.
There used to be no such thing as a "computer engineer". In fact, at one place of employement, this was actually an issue because we were calling ourselves engineers. In the past, if you wanted to specialize in computer engineering, you got an electrical engineering degree or depending on how indepth you wanted to get, a physics degree. As an example, Georgia Tech's computer engineering program is within the electrical engineering school. Same with Iowa State.
And to show just how much of a joke at one time "computer engineering" degrees were, they were originally a degree offered by schools like ITT and Devry.
Heck, 20 years ago a computer science degree wasn't even specialized. If you were going into networking, programming, or systems you learned the same thing as everyone else. Today, there are various computer science degrees for each field of study.
Likewise it would appear that schools have developed a computer engineering program. GATech's definitely seems to be a solid engineering program.
