The school I went to was 80% mechanical engineers. Had they offered computer engineering, as compared to computer science, my degree would have had more overlap with physical science than virtual science (of computer engineering). It’s just not a practical degree in the US. You don’t need thermodynamics, statics, and a bunch of other physical engineering requirements to build software.
