Wow. That's pretty much exactly what I needed to hear...
I've been pretty set on software development for the past few years...but I guess now that college is getting closer, I'm afraid that a CS degree wouldn't involve any of the fun stuff we get to do in FIRST. So it sounds like CE is a great balance between the two, hardware and software.
