No kidding. But back in the early 90's CompSci was the only thing available if you wanted to be a programmer and go to university locally. There was no computer engineering degree until later.

Computer Engineering isn't about programming any more than Computer Science is. Maybe you mean Software Engineering? University of Toronto (if that's what you meant by local) started their Computer Engineering department in the mid-60's.
