It was definitely a blend at Queen's University in Ontario. Computer engineers could choose between hardware and software specializations. All engineers shared a common first year. Then all electrical and computer engineers shared a common second year. Third and forth years focused more on the specialties, though there was still significant overlap. Also worth noting, professional registrations may not line up exactly with degrees. You don't necessarily need a degree in computer engineering to be a computer engineer. The board would likely find a degree in electrical engineering and a few years of relevant work experience to be sufficient. (Though, this may vary by jurisdiction.)
