At least when I was making a similar choice (which I later rejected and got a degree in history instead) Computer engineering is kind of a middle ground between electrical engineering and computer science (as the terms are commonly used in the US education system at least) which means learning circuit design as well as programming (and possibly low-level systems programming). I'm less familiar with the term computer technology, but I suspect it's much higher level and wouldn't involve electrical engineering much (if at all).

Dunno what computer technology is but here's some stuff about computer engineering (ignore the university marketing spiel), look at the diagrams towards the lower side of the page showing you how it relates to other computers-related stuff

Essentially take it if you want to learn what all goes into making computers (hardware) and the low level systems in them. It's not as hardcore hardware as electrical engineering and not as software centric as computer science, it's a sort of middle ground.
Note: this is how US and NL (and probably EU) colleges define computer engineering (US follows similar definitions). Might differ in other places. -
Then Computer Science is basically lots of programming, algorithms, data structures, and the theory behind things like programming languages and operating systems. You also get quite a bit of mathematics (often through some calculus). Not as much hardware stuff (if you get hardware at all).

!Rant I GRADUATED FROM COLLEGE TODAY WITH MY DEGREE IN COMPUTER SCIENCE! Now to find a job :D
The next year I have to choice University faculty. I don't know if pick up computer technology or computer engineering.
What are the main differences and which is more "convenient"?
