Any advice for a student starting an embedded internship?
Hi. i sm a CS student in my 2nd year and I've got an internship starting in 2 weeks. I feel as if i sm behind the other interns and i don't know much to actually even start the internship. I've been learning some c++ and OOP principles as the firmware description said that those are the need to knows. I haven't got any practice with actual embedded coding however i do have an arduino uno 4 i bought recently along with some other components, breadboards, wires etc.

How do I break into embedded systems and robotics as a computer engineering student with no professional experience yet?
I am an incoming freshman studying Computer Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, with a focus on embedded systems and robotics. I taught myself C++ outside of class and have a Python certification, but I have no internship or research experience yet. What should I prioritize in my first year to make myself competitive for internships in this field? Are there specific projects, clubs, or skills I should focus on early? #Spring26

As an electrical engineering major, what steps can I take to apply my engineering/circuit knowledge into real-world projects I want to design some circuits and potentially integrate hardware with Arduino?
I would like to build out my portfolio and start my own technology-based business in the future; however, I feel as though I do not have enough hardware/hands on experience with technological design... I was just curious about how to expand my knowledge on this topic independently.
