I didn't write down the different salaries and tasks and rewards, but it might help show some of the difference in focus.

Mechanical Engineer focuses on Robotics (to level 10) and Handiness (to level 7), Computer Engineer focuses on Robotics (to level 10) and Programming (to level 7).
Mechanical Engineer has to make Mechanisms, Computer Engineer has to make Computer Chips.
Mechanical Engineer unlocks the ExoMech Suit at level 8 and ExoMech Helmet at level 9. Computer Engineer unlocks the Computer Glasses at level 9.
Carl's Sims 4 Guide is a good place to look for information like this.
You can switch branches by completing the appropriate university degree. Physics for Mechanical Engineer, Computer Science for Computer Engineer. - Following because honestly, what’s the difference (in game wise).
- What if i allready got computer engineer and want to switch to mechanical engineer (even by using cheats)? Please and thanks!

As far as I know getting the corresponding degree as mentioned above is the only way to switch career branches in a game without mods.
The only other option I know is a mod: mccc. It has an option to reset the branch so you can choose again.- Wait! So you mean that my Sim, who I accidentally chose the wrong career path can, if finishing the appropriate degree, switch to her desired career path?!

Yes
Oh! If only I had known that before enrolling her. She is on the history degree now but knowing this, I am thinking of having her change a degree. She is only on her 2nd term and may probably have to begin anew with her course credit points but will be worth it. This is great news.
