You're right, CE is usually Civil Engineer. Computer Engineering is very very close to Electrical Engineering, but with more of a focus on programming that's closer to the hardware. Typically called ECE (Electronic and Computer Engineering) or CoE maybe - people have abbreviated it differently in any case.

If you were still in NJ I would tell you to check out some of the defense contractors (ITT, BAE Systems, etc), but not too sure about out in CA.

I have looked into defense companies - in fact the only interview I've had in the past year was with a defense company (I won't name them, and they are a BIG one). In this particular case, it was the CLOSEST I got to a job, however, I believe they made up some garbage about me not being able to pass security clearance, and I don't know why (U.S. Citizen with a squeaky clean record, no drug use, can count on my fingers the number of times out of the country, etc.) and they rescinded the offer.
Needless to say, I was PISSED. I had passed their background investigation with flying colors, and they simply refused to submit my app for security clearance, and told me it was internal information. So, I'm not so sure about defense contractors anymore . . .
