As a third-year engineering student, it's time to shift your focus from foundational courses to more advanced topics. Our year-by-year guide recommends that you concentrate more on problem-solving skills by participating in websites like HackerRank, LeetCode, and others. We also recommend that you complete essential courses like Microcontroller and Microprocessor, Embedded Systems, ARM, and others. Additionally, it's essential to gain practical experience through internships, mini-projects, and reading research papers, which can help you develop real-world problem-solving skills and hands-on experience. These skills and experiences will prepare you for the more complex coursework in your final year and beyond, as well as help you stand out in your future job search.
