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!
