I am a student in Computer Science & Biomedical Engineering at the University of Iowa, and from my experience I'd have to agree that the engineering is harder!!!
Computer Engineering is more structured than computer science. They approach the subject more methodically. You tend to get a more technical outlook on things. (i.e. in networking the engineers look more at numbers such as bandwidth and delay times, where the computer scientists may look more at how the overall TCP/IP structure works). Many of the upper level classes here in Computer Engineering & Computer Science overlap.
Computer Science in general is more "free and artsy" as a friend of mine said the other day. I think computer science people also get more low level experience, although they have plenty of application developing experience also.
Ideas of focus for computer engineers:Software design & designing hardware Ideas for Computer scientists: programming/software design, graphics, designing & improving algorithms of course those are just a few...
