I am an EE. I am just about to graduate.

One thing that is important is your social skills and how well you do at an interview. That is one thing I would have to add. Having good communication skills will get you far in any walk of life, and engineering is no exception.

Also, try to get a good practical application for what you are studying. Most teachers just pass crap off and make you do problems. Understanding industry is very important and learning the practical applications of things helps big time. That is one thing I wish I would have got out of PITT.

As far as classes go, I hated signals and systems. Almost impossible. I was also a bio-E major as well. O chem owns me. Failed it twice. My final gpa will be around 2.8. PITT gpa's tend to be pretty low for EE though.
