There is a huge difference in the curriculum of computer science and computer engineering degrees. Computer engineering is not that different than electrical, at least when when I got mine (1.5 semesters more). Computer science is/was quite different.

That said, Machanical or Electrical I would say are equal in their teachings of methods that can be applied towards the widest type of work.
