I'd say that most computer engineering jobs involve at least some bit of programming. All of my hardware engineering friends do a fair bit of programming, even if it's for microcontrollers.
It sounds like you like computers and technology, but you've been turned off to programming. Is it possible that it's just the environment in your school that has turned you off to programming? I know when I went to school to get my EE+CS degree, it was very competitive. All of my classes were "weeder" classes until I hit upper-division. Unfortunately, school work is not like real life. In real life, we work together, share code, and solve real world problems in the most cost-effective manner. I'd suggest that you reconsider what it is that you don't like about programming. Do you dislike the concept of writing programs to solve problems? Or do you just hate highly stressful, competitve environments where you have to program under pressure?
But if you really, really hate programming but you still love computers, maybe a job in the IT world would be more suitable. Something like an MIS degree. I'm not sure what it's called, but something that, say, would involve getting MCSE-certified. Maybe you should find out what your dream job would be (network administrator, computer technician, etc.) and find out what qualifications you need. You might not need a computer-related degree at all!
If you find that you really just hate computers entirely, then I suggest you get a degree in something you're really interested in. No sense in working in a field you hate for the rest of your life. If you have a real passion for art history or folk dance or ancient Greek literature, maybe you should consider those instead. Even if they don't lead to lucrative jobs, at least your job will be rewarding.
