no, definitely not most. some.

CS tends to focus on higher level languages and commercial application development. while you can do that in some compE programs, thats not what most of your classes will teach you to do.

in CS, you're going to pick up skills on how to network stuff and develop commercial applications with high level programming languages.

in compE, you're going to learn exactly how networks work, down to the level of the logic gates in the chips involved, and how to use assembly and c to program chips, or verilog/vhdl to create chips.

its much easier for a compE to learn a high level language and develop apps than to have a CS learn electricity and electronics to develop stuff like that.
