CS = Software 
CE = Hardware 

There is a lot of overlap these days because much of hardware takes firmware design, which is software built into the hardware. So most CS degrees will have no hardware bast basics and how hardware directly effects software but the reverse is not true. CE usually requres at least mid level programming classes be taken.
