There is a lot of overlap between the two titles, but to keep it short, a computer engineer designs the computer, while computer scientist devises ways of doing work using a computer (programming languages, computer applications, etc.)

yeah, Computer Engineering (also sometimes lumped with Electrical Engineering like at MSU) is more hardware-oriented, whereas Computer Science is more software-oriented.
As far as schools go, try finding some 3rd party who ranks that kind of stuff. Or you could just go to Michigan State like me
