I'm studying now communications & computer engineering. The professor told me that:

Engineers have much hiring priority than Computer Scientists.
It's good I've the ability to apply for the faculty of engineering.
This'll help me to achieve my ambition to be a programmer.
We'll study computer science.

While I was browsing, I only saw computer science, computer science... etc. Courses vary from a faculty to another. Can he be right? If he's right, will employers prefer Computer Scientists or Engineers?
