Need advice and inspiration! Computer Science in Hardware

My advice - do some internships and independent studies (if your university offers those). In my experience, employers are much more impressed with "hands-on" experience than a list of courses that may or may not have covered what the job requires. It may be too late to do an internship or independent study this semester, so instead, consider asking if you can shadow someone in your university's hardware department for a day, or a few days, to get a feel for what type of tasks are typical in hardware and what type of skills are helpful. You could also ask if they have any work studies or assistantships or volunteer positions available to get experience.

Also use the time this semester to look into internships for next semester or the summer and start polishing your resume and practicing interviewing. If your resume looks bad or you aren't a good interviewer, that could be hurting your career aspects rather than your skill list. Most universities have some type of career center that helps with this - some are better than others so also look online for best practices, and ask friends or family or just practice in the mirror.

If your university offers independent studies (which is where a professor mentors you while you create a project of your choosing like building a server or building a network with advanced functionality - this usually requires a research paper or some type of report but that's part of university life) then consider creating a proposal and finding a professor to sponsor you for the next semester.

Are there any computer clubs in your university? If not, consider starting one - it shows leadership which is great on a resume. Then try to get some funding for members to go to competitions and conferences to represent your university. These events are usually good networking events too.

Do the research on your own as well. Look at job sites like Monster for jobs for hardware and see what the job requirements are and how well you match up. Then research what you can do to improve the match - like purchasing or finding an old machine and rebuilding it, watching online video classes on YouTube - you don't have to be limited by just what your university offers. Doing this shows initiative (another resume booster) and helps you figure out what interests you about computers/hardware. You may find that you're more interested in networks, or website building, or BOTs, or devOps or that you really do enjoy hardware - but you'll figure it out before you graduate rather than after and then you can adjust your courses as needed.
