The difference is that in computer engineering you get to learn about hardware and how to do embedded systems where hardware and software come together. You get a practice of both where in the real world it opens more doors for you because it shows you are able to take on a strictly software position or a hardware position or both aka embedded engineer that works both hardware and software. So yeah just opens more doors. Like rn with all the software position disappearing you can apply for an em
