Electrical Engineer designs the Motherboard and other peripherals excluding the software.
Though computer engineering studies about hardware functions, it won't compensate with electrical engineering. Computer engineers will be prominent on software than hardware.
The time we live in still close to the days when the electronic computer was only just being developed. There was no spacific field or workers know by the name of computer this or that. All were adapted from associated fields, I would mostly say communications engineers and radio technicians. Also there is a deeper reason that the people in thoes fields had the trainning to adopt there skills and knowledge to ever newer methods and devices.
Terry is right in that Computer Engineering is more hardware oriented, but you do study a good amount Computer Science as a Computer Engineering major.
In my experience, computer engineering gives a good balance of EE and computer science wIth a lot of coursework with the fundamentals of programming, but not with the software development lifecycle (as a computer science major would study).
"Computer Science" is mostly to do with software and the theoretical side of computing.
"Computer Engineering" is hardware orientated so naturally it's strongly related to electrical engineering.
computer works on electricity
I've read about many of the world's leading innovators & scientist of computer world who have a degree of Electrical Engineering, so is the computer science is more similar to electrical than any other engineering stream if yes than what are the similarities.
