Well, "computer engineering" isn't well-defined.  For EE, 
you can write loop and node equations and solve, and 
determine exactly how an electrical network will behave.

They are trying to make systems that can analyze computer 
programs in the same way, but I think we are pretty far from 
that level of rigor.
