>My daughter finished her CS degree about a year ago.

Interesting I thought CS was all software where computer with gate and low level programming were something of EE / Computer Engineering.

I believe that it was a two semester sequence that covered gate level logic, microcontrollers and assembly language, and a hardware lab with oscilloscopes etc. I would have picked slightly different classes than the ones she ended up taking for her degree, but having worked in industry myself, I thought the exposure to hardware she got could be useful for her in the future.

My own educational background (Math, EE, CS) has given me a lot of flexibility over the last 50 years.
