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.

Computer Engineering has existed in universities since the 90s', just throwing it out there. The courses back then were so close to EE and also CS at the same time that you might as well just take the EE ones and CS ones for the extra credits anyways though. You can pretty much walk out of school with EE/CE/CS degree since CE is right in the middle.
Georgia Tech is the place to be though, even though the state of Georgia doesn't seem to be very interesting at all.
