The ONLY difference between ECE and EE the first two years is...

Out of curiosity, why are you abbreviating Computer Engineering as ECE? At least at my school, Computer Engineering is CMPE, Electrical Engineering is EE. Both of these programs are in the ECE (Electrical and Computer Engineering) department. Is your school really different (doubtful), or are you just mistaken?
Because Comp Engineers are considered part of the EE program. So it's EE with a Computer specialization. For purposes of time saving and laizness I just called it ECE; if I said CE it would have been Chemical. It's all part of the dept of ECE (the same acronym as what you are referring to).

I was an undergrad at a school where (in graduating classes following mine) there was no distinction between a computer engineer and electrical engineer save the courseload. Degrees were actually conferred in "Electrical and Computer Engineering".
The real difference is in the last two years.
A good EE can understand the underlying principles of any other engineering discpline, but the opposite is not true (most times).
In the last two years, EEs should have advanced classes in fields, communication, and control theory.
In contrast, Comp. Es ahould have advanced classes in real-time embedded systems.

Hey,I was not the one that said linear algebra was fun.
The class I had closest to that was called Matrix Algebra, but I have solved
my share of linear equations.
I always found it funny how school would have different courses during the early
years of different degrees that overlapped quite a bit but had different names.
This way, a change in major would be difficult.
"Oh you need the 'differential and difference equation class' not the
'differential equation class' that is for the mechanical engineers, you'll have to wait
unitl next term."
Like anyone that understands all of the basic concepts of differential equations
and calculus could not solve a difference equation!?
