Here are two things I would suggest just off the top of my head based on personal experience going through an engineering undergrad, having gone through grad school, and taught undergrad engineering courses. 1) Try to meet some people going through the same courses as you. I found it tremendously helpful to have people to study/do assignments with. You will have people to motivate you. And you will waste less time trying to figure out certain things when you have someone to ask. 2) Your final year of courses is the best opportunity to get to know some professors. This can help you a lot down the road if you want to apply to grad studies, need an academic reference, get involved in some cool research, or even get recruited into a prof's startup. Show your face at office hours, ask some inquisitive questions in or after class, things like that. This is something that I did not take advantage of while in undergrad but now that I have been on the other end (teaching), I can see how this can open a lot of doors for the student. Also, in the engineering programs that I have seen, I found that the workload dies down a little after second/third year. You also get used to working the "triage" by then as well. Good luck!
