It's never to late to change it.

Looking at the computer engineering sample course of study, you don't have to make the decision very soon.

For the freshman and first semester sophomore courses, I think the only ones that you couldn't make fit both CS and CE would be ENGR 100 Fresh Engr Lectures, ENGR 126 Engr Prb Solv&Cmp Tool, ECE 201 Linear Circuit Anly I , and ECE 207 Elect Measur Technique. Those are only 8 credits which you could make up with 2 summers or only one extra semester. Its likely that the beginning CS courses would cover the programming requirements in the CE degree. Use your science electives in the CS degree to take the physics and chemistry classes that are required for CE.

When you meet with your adviser, make sure to mention that you are considering CE. Bring the CE course of study. Your adviser should help you choose your courses to make either major possible. You should also try to meet with a CE major adviser.
