It's been a while since I was in school, but "General Engineering" was actually a degree track. As in there were specific requirements for that degree and I presume "General Engineering" was on the diploma.

"Engineering" is likely an aggregate of all the Engineering degrees (Chem, mechanical, electrical, General, etc).

Maybe Emgineering is an umbrella for all types of engineering including CS, EE and others while General Emgineering is a collection of more niche fields like aerospace or maritime engineering (aka the "physical")
