Given that Computer Science often sees Computer Engineering as an attempt of Electrical Engineering to intrude into CS turf, the article probably needs to tread a very fine line. I tried to improve it by making CS sound less theoretical. E.g. "CE as an applied version of CS" implies that CS is not yet applied. Tell that any software engineer. BTW, if compilers are an example of computer engineering, that is quite theoretical in itself. The theoretical content of the "Dragon book" and its foundations is probably enough to fill half a beginners course on theoretical computer science.
