Masters of Computer Engineering Vs Computer Science

[AndyB]

I've have been working on my masters of computer engineering full time for a year now. With this degree, my goal is to become a machine learning engineer/data scientist. This last semester, my university, Weber State, just came out with a new masters of computer science program that is an entire semester shorter then the computer engineering program. This is because my BS degree is not in electrical engineering, so I would have to take signals and systems, Microelectronics 1, and Digital Systems.

Do people really care if I have a computer engineering masters vs a computer science masters? I really love machine learning and this is my over-all goal.
