      Any study on a lower level than the mathematics of information processing is under the realm of computer engineering. Computer science is more of a mathematical discipline than anything else, Computer Engineering is more of the intersection of electrical engineering and computer science than anything else.

      Computer scientists wouldn’t do any research about the electromagnetics of how a computer works, they just trust that the electromagnetic design of the hardware creates a valid Turing machine for them to design programs for.
