For example, is a Computer engineer with a 3.5 worth as much to a law school admissions board as much as an Art History major with a 3.7 (assuming they have the same LSAT score)

They look at everything, but, generally speaking, an engineering student with a 3.5 will be "worth" as much as an Art History major to a law school. Generally speaking. A couple reasons I say this is b/c the GPAs of both are pretty high and they're also decently close together (if you had said a 3.0 vs the 3.7, then I'd have said no). They know engineering is harder than some other majors.

Law schools look at everything in your college career...student-athlete, social work (volunteer for anything, etc.)
And yes, your undergraduate curriculum plays a big role into what they look for. If your a 3.5 in engineering, you should be fine.

It depends on the school. They all evaluate differently.
P.S. -- Keep your fingers crossed that no art history majors read your example! :)
