That sounds like you want electrical engineering more than computer engineering. Computer engineering gets into the really nitty gritty stuff about computers...you know, a lot of the stuff that many EEs don't even think about and can't be manipulated or repaired by anyone without a silcon wafer foundry. For example, what the text instructions "A = 1 + 2" actually mean, what they actually are in physical form inside the computer, how they are stored and how to use electronic components to build something that can actually understand the human text that you just typed and convert it into physical tasks, and then actually carrying out those tasks.
Think about it...
If you type in A = 1+2, where would you even begin to take electronic components and put them together to build something that understood each symbol and actually do what you want it to do. That's computer engineering, and that's why it is it's own field of engineering rather than a sub-field of electrical engineering (there's so much in it).
