Should I change my major to computer engineering?

I'm currently a computer science (CS) student and everything is going well, but I'm not sure if, judging by the material that I've learned so far in CS, if it's the right major. While I love working with numbers and algorithms, I don't feel the same strong interest that I feel from working with hardware. I've done some embly programming and, even though it was really tough, I actually liked it. I do a ton of independent work with microcontrollers and robotics, so I'm starting to feel that maybe computer engineering (CE) is a more suitable major. It seems like a good combination of computer science with hardware. Sometimes I'm not even sure why I chose CS over CE. I like programming, but only if it's applicable to things such as robots. CS theory is interesting but I don't know if that's what I would want to study ALL THE TIME! I'm really uncertain right now, please help!
