Dug around until I could find a suggestion that I would recommend highly. As suggested above, taking a compilers course and an operating systems course will give you a view into how computers work (not the electrical parts, but the general software parts). In addition, I'd recommend taking any programming language course offered: C, C++, Java, Python, Lisp, Prolog, (Ada, Cobol, Fortran, Basic, and on and on). Learning the other languages gives one a view into programming in general, not just in your favorite language. My 2c.
