Advice for incoming computer engineering student?
Hello! I am an incoming Computer Engineering (CpE) student and I am looking for some advice. I want to prepare ahead of time before classes start this August.
I would like to ask current CpE students and graduates:
• What topics should I advance study before my first year?
• Which programming languages or math concepts should I focus on?
• What projects should I build early on?
• Are there any required apps or software I should download? (Especially for coding, since I don't know where to write code yet.)
• Is a powerful laptop or PC required for this course?
• Do you have any general advice for navigating the entire 4-year program?
To give a bit of background:
- I am not very confident in math yet (especially calculus and algebra), and I have zero to little coding experience.
Any advice outside of my questions is highly appreciated!
Thank you!
