Preface
This isn’t a book about how to get along with your roommate or how to balance your college budget (hey—you’re an engineer, a calculator is never far away). I’ve tried to avoid phrases like (ugh!) time management, goal setting, and finding yourself. The assumption has been made that you have found yourself and an engineering program for yourself. Less lofty and (hopefully) more useful topics will be covered. Engineering students are perceived to have a heavier workload than the average student. That perception is, well . . . pretty much correct, but the perception that we have to give up our social lives is simply not true.
What this book is about is how to learn as much as you can, get good grades, and still have fun while pursuing an engineering degree. You will find strategies to ace tests, learn to love your computer in times of cyber-crisis, land most agreeable internships, and pull through end-of-the-quarter slams in ways that are specific to engineers. All of this not just from one engineer—but from several hundred—who have given their time and input on these subjects because they know where you’re at. Enough said. Much of this is common sense. So take only what works for you and have fun!
