Life is simple in chemistry land, without as much doublespeak as in computer land. In chemistry land, the chemists daydream and theorize and apply massive creativity. The ChemEng implement known ideas as cheaply and safely as possible on huge scale, which turns out to be ridiculously hard. The process techs and lab techs pretty much just follow orders. Computer engineering is, or used to be, a hybrid of EE and CS. More compiler / assembly work than OO design. More control system theory (PID controllers and the like) than database theory. There is a modern variant of what CE is, along the engineer is the accountant/project manager of the sciences. And its often called "software engineer". So a project manager who knows programming.
