Depends on the country you live in, for example in Italy we have both Computer Science and Computer Engineering university faculties with the first one being an ad-hoc faculty and the other one being a branch of EE which has outgrown its parent at some point and was spun out as a faculty of its own. I guess that between the two CompEng is the larger one and even though it's pretty biased towards software you get to do some hardware stuff too while you can get away with none at all while doing CompSci.
