Does anybody know the major differences between computer science and computer engineering? I was told that computer science is the manipulation of computers and engineering is the building of computers. So what are the differences exactly?

comp sci is mostly from development/programming side

comp eng is mostly the physics of computers

Comp sci has more to do with the algorithmic approches to build better computers and softwares for it.

engineering is its implementation...

thanks guys for the replies! i think im interested in both but i was accepted in computer science, i dont think it'll make as much as computer engineering so i think i might consider changing to computer engineering after the first year :)
