Unless your schools CE program is just a CS degree, CE isn't the way to go. All the CE stuff you learn that you wouldn't learn with a CS degree would be near worthless and you'll miss many important things that you would get with a CS degree (assuming you're going into programming of course).

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

@twesterm

If I was going into programming I would have done CS =P. Nah, I'm interested in going into the hardware side, for which CE should be useful.

But the industry doesn't need hardware people, not even for engine stuff. :-/

The best you could really hope for is be their tech support guy (which is a fun job in itself, at a game studio at least) if you want to do hardware at a studio.
