I've interviewed lots of engineers and have had a number of interns (one just last summer). I look for attitude, enthusiasm and evidence of initiative foremost and then gain some sort of assessment of technical skills (and some of the folks I'm looking at have 20+ years of experience).

In all honesty, an employer isn't going to expect much (technically) from a junior in college. If you have some idea of specifically what the employer is looking for, I would highlight skills and accomplishments that fit that need, but otherwise be honest and enthusiastic (and articulate - one of my pet peeves) and you'll be fine.
