Essentially, if you could tell your college self what you should have done differently to make yourself a better engineer, I want to hear it. Thanks.
BSEE here.

A degree really helps getting you in the door, but after that experience goes a long, long way. Take as many lab courses as you can. Lots of hands-on experience (designing, building, testing, etc.) really helps as well as job versatility. If you enjoy building circuits and other do-it-yourself stuff at home, I think that's a big plus when looking for a job.
