So if I want to be a computer hardware engineer

I am gonna get an EE degree in 2 weeks and my resume is full of EE coop experience, but all the interviews I have landed have been CE jobs.

Here at Purdue, CompE and EE majors are pretty much identical, set apart by I think 4 classes? CompE's 4 classes that are different are for programming, the rest of the requirements are identical.

There are significantly less job offers for CompE's than EE's.

Do CompEs take EM also?

at some schools, yes.

I just don't see how the concept of that class can help an compE. Maybe I am wrong, but I think it is pointless for CpE.

Any kind of work where you are laying down traces and interconnects, be it PCB or on silicon, you need to know EM.
