i'm a senior in computer engineering and interning with the DoD.
going into compE, you're going to be doing things you didn't in CS. you're going to be taking a lot of electricity and electronics classes which might not be your cup of tea. eventually you're going to become very familiar with c and verilog/vhdl.
the jobs you're going to be looking at are, as already mentioned, firmware coding and chip design. some companies, though, expect compEs to be the same as CS. in my internship, i spent the last summer coding java servlets. what you're going to end up doing depends entirely on the people who hire you.
