If you are going to work in industry, an internship can be invaluable.

Read the job description completely. If you're going to be working with FPGA's, make sure you've taken that class. If it's power, make sure you've taken a couple electives beyond just 310. It should be easy to tell based on reading the job description and the college catalog what courses you need to take.

Make sure your GPA is over 3.0. In industry, they really don't care about what you've learned in your classes. They care about how fast you can pick up and master new ideas and techniques. If you have a good GPA that tells them you can work hard, and master new ideas quickly.
