EE undergrad from GaTech here. I did 2 semesters of EE internships at a small electrical and hardware engineering shop that built custom devices for the military and police. I currently am a software engineer. My sense is that it is about the same. In my internship, I remember the senior engineers waiting around for parts to be delivered, taking unnecessary day trips to local fab houses to check on orders, and waiting around for MIL-STD-202 (military electrical testing that can take 12+ hours per test) to complete. It didn't seem that much different.
