Because electrical engineering and math. It's like a spectrum:

Math [Uhm...math] <-> Computer Science [algorithms] <-> Computer Engineering [robotics] <-> Electrical Engineering [electronics]

It's even fun to think about if you involve communications. It becomes a three-way.

(Between CS and CE) -> Communications Engineering [radios] -> Network Engineering [protocols, wifi] -> IT/DBA/Web [closer to web]
