what are the differences between Computer Engineering and Engineering Technology?

I want to go to Texas A&M here in Texas, and when I looked under the majors that the school offers, there are Computer Engineering and Engineering Technology. What are the differences between those two? I love technology and computer so I guess both of those majors are the right ones for me.

Computer Engineering is more focused on the principals and they get paid more. While (Computer) Engineering Technology is more hands on, they get paid less than engineers but more than Computer Technicians, and they bridge the gap between the engineers and technicians.
