Yep. University of Calgary went the opposite route a few years back and shut down the computer engineering degree stream. I'm actually not sure what the effects of that were, I'll have to ask my coworkers (some of whom are graduates of that degree).

Are you sure that is what OP is talking about?

U of Calgary still has a software engineering program within engineering, which I think is the situation OP is talking about.

With that said I'm in the computer science program and it is still very computer sciencey so I think we've avoided the duplication.

Yes, the software eng program is still around. There is quite a bit of overlap with comp sci though - unless you're taking an honours degree there will be a number of software eng students in most of your classes (networking, operating systems, etc.)

I think the fate of computer eng was to have it split between computer science and EE. I'll have to ask coworkers at lunch.

Have we met? I'm Andrew Helwer. The guy that runs Problem Solving Club.

That likely is the case, I never do know what programs most of my classmates are in.

We haven't meet but I have heard of you. Last semester a friend in discrete mathematics from bio-info mentioned your problem solving club.
