What is Computer Engineering?

Here's a very cute example of Computer Engineering:




The robotic arm is a mechanical device, so a bit of mechanical engineering knowledge is needed. The ball takes a parabolic path, so a bit of mathematics is needed. The brains, or "brick", had to be created (electrical knowledge) and programmed (programming knowledge).

What other household devices would be fun to create?
