There’s alot of great advice here, the only thing I’d add is don’t forget about verbal skills.
language is a great tool for exploring ideas. Great design begins with asking the right question - getting at the heart of the problem your setting out to solve. Refining your design will start with discussions with other students - learn to be articulate, you’ll be amazed at how simply saying out loud what your thinking can cause a quantum leap in your understanding of your work.
And probably most importantly, great projects can be ruined by poor verbal presentation. I’ve often seen students mumble while staring at their feet or become defensive responding to criticisisms. Remember not to make excuses! The ‘if I’d had more time…’ is the worst, your work is what it is - not a reflection of what it could’ve been.
The one thing I wish everyone would take is a public speaking course, you have to be a salesman for your work and yourself - get in practice now.
