Are US Army Reserve units still being deployed?
I'm joining The Armt Reserves this summer as a Combat Engineer and I was wondering if there still deployments. I'm going to be attending Army ROTC sat the same time but obviously won't start contracting until at least my sophomore year, so I am deployable. I think it would be a pretty interesting experience.

There are some. They are few and far between. It is VERY unlikely a Reserve Engineer unit would be deploying. Unless your unit knows about a deployment right now, don't expect to be going anywhere for at least 2 years. By then, you would be in Advanced ROTC and would be non-deployable.
There is no "contracting" sophomore year. That is for junior your year. If you are on scholarship sophomore year, you would not be allowed to be in the Reserves. The only scholarships that allow you to be SMP are GRFD and I think those are all still 2-year scholarships.

If you are SMP( the only way to drill and be in ROTC at the same) you are non deployable until you commission

Go down to a VA hospital and talk to some of the vets there about what an "interesting experience" it is being deployed. Start with the ones with limbs missing, then move over to the ones suffering debilitating PTSD.
"May you live in interesting times" is an old Chinese curse.
