Does a major in computer engineering prepare you to be a hardware engineer AND a software engineer?

Hello all!

Just wandering, is a major in computer engineering good preperation for a career in hardware development and software development? I know it is more focused on hardware, but would you still be able to get jobs as a software engineer? How flexiable is it?

Thanks!

Yes.
I have a friend who graduated from CE and now works as a Software Developer.

Then again, your career will likely have a bigger impact from the internships done during school... as long as the degree is vaguely related, you are probably still good.
