I am currently a Junior CompE.
Most of what we do (at least my University (UofHartford)) is embedded microsystems and some signal analysis as well as basic electronics and analog analysis. Basically the hardware end of a computer system. We also learn assembly as well as some hardware description languages.
We are also required to take some CS courses, (so we learn like C++, Java, etc). This is just to 'well-round' us as engineers.
As far as what we acutally do in real life, I have no idea. I know that I definitely want to go into data communications design.
Hope this was of some help.
