Pretty much. Computer Science was it's own department in the College of Engineering. You could actually do four things:

Electrical Engineering degree, with one of your depth tracks in Computer Engineering - This gave you advanced hardware without any programming beyond the intro class. Always seemed useless when you could do CE-EE. Taking the class where you programmed Linux drivers for the FPGA device you created seemed like it would require knowledge of both.
Computer Engineering-Electrical Engineering track - Run out of the Electrical Engineering department. 2/3 EE 1/3 CS
Computer Engineering-Computer Science Track - Run out of Computer Science department - 2/3 CS 1/3 EE
Computer Science - Run out of Computer Science department.

Similar design has been in development by the StarRotor Corporation. Will be interesting to see if they violated their patent. http://www.starrotor.com/
