[QUOTE="ChrisRedGT, post: 8839646, member: 69520"] I would second the need for internships/summer jobs etc. And get them as soon as possible. Even as a Freshman. Make sure they know who you are. I've hired 3 of the co-ops that I had over the last 19 years and make strong recommendations on 6 or more to colleagues that led to hires. Don't be the guy/gal in the corner no one remembers after your term! In school, don't be afraid to ask for help. Yes you were probably one of the smartest people in high school, but this is different. Find/create a study group. Take advantage of the TAs and office hours. This is also the beginning of your professional network. While you may not ever work with these people again, if you make an impression on them and keep in touch they may be the route to a job, even 10+ years later. So the more people you know the better. Even in other engineering groups and the computer science groups. Finally for the guys: Be prepared to be ignored by the opposite sex until the end of Junior year or so. Then it sinks in that you guys are going to be making many times what the vast majority of the other people in the school are upon graduation (and generally aren't douche bags) and they start looking for their husbands. Sorry, but this is true. Ask around with the senior's in Engineering or CS and they'll agree. (Yes I know Hybred is a woman. ;-) [/QUOTE]
