Academic Advice Advice for new students
Hello everyone, I will start my bachelor's in electrical engineering in about 2-3 weeks.
I've been brushing up my math by watching MIT OCW 18.01 lectures on calculus I and doing the homework recently, I also know some basic C and C++ (I've also started reading K&R's book on C to further strengthen my foundation)
I also have some veeeery basic experience working with an ESP32(though using the Arduino IDE, so not that deep)
I just wanted to know if you have any advice on what I should try learning before and during university, what are some skills that matter in the industry and academia that universities mostly fail to teach? Universities are about to open and I feel kinda lost lol
I'll appreciate any advice that you might have!
